Below is a listing of different stakeholder inputs in the budget process. It is obviously important that, when there are multiple parties requesting funding, much consideration is made as to where money will be spent in order to achieve the greatest results and meet the greatest needs. With input from the DEIC, and strict adherence to fashioning the budget so that it meets its goals, budgets can be an incredibly powerful tool in the educational process.
What types of input could you receive for budget development from each of the following individuals or groups:
Ø Central Office Administrators and Staff- Examples would be curriculum needs from curriculum coordinators, and special service needs from special service directors. Have specific needs for their individual programs and departments.
Ø Principals- any and all needs that are specific to individual campuses
Ø Site Based Decision Making Committees- on campus, bring campus needs to principal for consideration. At district level, set goals that drive budget.
Ø District Improvement Committee- see above
Ø Teacher Organizations- don't play a major role in our district other than providing opportunities for insurance. In other districts provide an opportuntity for teacher representation associated with needs.
Ø Key Stakeholders- all have individuals needs and wants. Play a key role in bringing budget considerations to individual principals and program directors who in turn carry to district-level budget meetings.
Ø Board of Trustees- The local education association controls programming within the district. Their goals, coupled with those of the SBDM, drive the budget.
