Complete a 12-15 School Based Budget System Project.
The project is about how the public school budget system works?
ASSIGNMENT
To complete this assignment first schedule a meeting with your principal to review your school budget. From this conversation with your principal and your analysis of the school budget prepare a written analysis including copies of your budget in a 10 to 15 minimum double-spaced page paper. You will be graded on the depth of your analysis and understanding of the school budget and how it relates to the master schedule and personnel. Your final paper must be uploaded in Blackboard and Taskstream by the posted deadline.
Annual School Budget
The annual school budget follows a repeating timeline beginning in April/May. The following steps determine the Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) that drives allocations in the School Allocation Plan.
a) In November estimates of FTE are developed at the District FTE Estimating Conference by program category. All system wide estimates are reviewed after the February count.
b) In February the Office of Budget Management develops the estimated FTE for School Operations. Regions estimate individual school FTE, not exceeding in total of the estimate for all schools made at the FTE Estimating Conference.
c) In August/September during the opening three weeks of school, basic teacher allocations are adjusted based on actual FTE in the Districts Student Information System (DSIS) file. These adjustments are made at mini-budget conferences held at the end of the second and third week of school.
d) The final school allocations are based on actual annualized FTE in DSIS on a Friday determined by the school district, in mid-September.
e) The annualization factor is based upon the prior year's October to February ratio for the growth/decline of enrollment.
