[SchoolFinance] Offering Electronic Payment Option

[Hillary Bunker]

RSU 8 has just last week started online ordering for yearbooks using
Square. One of our teachers was able to set up a quick product page for
this single item where parents and community members can order a yearbook
for pick up or to have them shipped. There is a transaction fee applied to
each purchase but that is the only cost. The funds are automatically
deposited into the schools account, daily activity reports can be printed
from Square and these will be reconciled with the bank statements.
