  6. School Based Budgeting Process Begin with the end in mind! • Full staff is surveyed as to areas of strength and weakness of program and student achievement results using Survey Monkey. • Instructional Leadership Team (4 teachers, Afterschool Coordinator, and Principal) evaluates and shares data. • Determine high leverage areas for the school focus and create goals for next academic year. • Assign categorical money to support English Learners and Title 1 students. • Use GP funds to build the rest of the program based on theory of action.

  7. Budgeting Examples • Administrative cuts in 2009-10, 2010-11, 2011-12 • Complementary use of funds to create new positions to support school mission. • Teachers have greater voice in the overall spending decisions • Professional Development • Master schedule development • Supplies and materials • Student opportunities • Consultants

  10. The Role of the Principal (2004) The Principal is accountable for student achievement and the budget, therefore….. The Principal has primary authority The school must comply with state and federal regulations and abide by bargained agreements, but most decisions are best made closest to the impact of the decision, therefore…. The school led by the Principal has autonomy over non-mandated local governance structures A school’s success depends on positive staff, teacher, family and student relationships that are focused on student achievement, therefore…. The Principal is responsible for facilitating positive, active and empowered engagement of staff, teachers, family members, guardians and students
