Budget “Philosophy” Budget should reflect strategic plan for district
• General Purpose and Federal Projects should be viewed as separate funding streams all supporting district plan
• ePlan facilitates this process Federal projects budgets governed by grant
requirements and restrictions School Nutrition governed by SNP program
guidelines and USDA requirements
21
Budget “Philosophy” Don’t be afraid of difficult decisions
• Reducing number of teachers• Moving teachers between grade levels/schools• Closing schools• Re-zoning
Student needs come first – needs of adults are secondary
Open communication, transparency can ease pain of making difficult decisions
22
Budget “Philosophy” NOT a ‘one and done’ exercise
• On-going monitoring essential• Revenues and expenditures reviewed monthly,
actual to budget comparison• Revisions/amendments completed as needed• Communication with funding body
– Reports– Meetings
23
Budget Presentation Know your audience Visuals (charts, graphs) helpful
• A picture is worth a thousand words Transparency is critical Footnote line items for clarity
