  4. Student-Based Budgeting (SBB) • For Prince George’s County Public Schools • Means of ensuring that all students have the opportunity to attain an excellent education even during financial downturns. • SBB is in the second year of implementation.

  5. Student-Based Budgeting (SBB) • Budget Process Restructuring • Changes school budgeting from staff-based model to per pupil model. • Links dollars to students and provides school-based flexibility in decision making process to improve students achievement.

  6. Student-Based Budgeting • Empowerment Theory in Action • Those closest to the students should make the key decision about programs, partners, supports, and staffing, within a framework of bounded autonomy. • School funding should be transparent, equitable, and purposeful. • Schools new framework should transform central office into organization focused on guidance, support, and accountability.

  7. Staffing Considerations When Building a Budget • Leadership team – supporting instruction, the front-office and student services • Student – Teacher Ratios • Determined by the Principal/Leadership team • May add or reduce teaching staff in each academic area, consistent with established priorities at the school-level • Classroom support, such as Para-educators

  8. School Data • Effect Data: Outcomes or Results – PMAPP 2

  9. Ice Breaker What would your priorities be for this school? Imagine your school has $10,000 to spend next year in the areas listed below. In what areas would you spend your money? Talk with your neighbor for two minutes about what areas are most important to your school. • Reading Specialist: $1500 • Custodial Supplies: $1200 • Instructional Lead Teacher: $1500 • Asst. Principal: $6000 • Counselor:$ 3000 • Computers: $ 1500 • Textbooks: $2000 • Instructional Supplies: $2000 • Supplemental Math Instruction: $8000 • Paraprofessional: $2000

  10. Reflection Let’s talk about the decisions you made and why? Just like real life budgets, school budgets have limitations. The amount of money a school receives is based on the number of students enrolled and only allows for SOME of the initiatives to be accomplished.

  11. Think about… Your budget was just cut by 20%, so now you only have $8,000 to spend. What of your priorities should get cut and why?
