    Critiquing Local

    School Budget

    Prepared by: Eleonor P. Pilac


    Critiquing the Spending Process
    Superintendents provide the school board with
    periodic (monthly printouts) budget updates
    budget line items in major categories
     the amount of funds expended to date
     the %age of funds expended to date
    anticipated problems with over-financed or
    under-financed budget categories
    Keep the school board informed in case of need to
    shift funds from one category to another.
    Improving Budget Accuracy &
    Effectiveness Over Time
    • Each year’s budget • Superintendents’
    should build on the relatively short job tenure
    previous year’s data means the new leader
    and allow for reassesses all the budget
    refinements in practices and implements
    forecasting needs a new budgeting system
    that disturbs the
    refinement process
    Critiquing the Spending Program
    • An accountant or business manager can evaluate
    the spending process
    • Instructional leadership is required in
    evaluating the spending program
    Critiquing Student Progress: AYP
    In light of NCLB requirements that all subgroups make
    adequate yearly progress (AYP), it is increasingly
    necessary for instructional leaders to make certain that all
    children benefit from the program, including those:
    ·       receiving special education services
    ·       receiving free or reduced lunch
    ·       English language learners of a minority background
    Critiquing Subgroup Achievement
    • Disaggregate student achievement data to determine
    appropriately which students are not progressing
    satisfactorily
    • The planning process involves these students’
    achievement (or lack thereof) and determining
    programs that may improve achievement
    • Enact plans, solicit funds, spend monies, and wait
    for the accountability test results to return. Review
    results & revise programs
    What is the importance of critiquing
    on school budget?
    • Critiquing provides information on what a
    planned budget actually delivers beyond the
    intentions for the use of resources as expressed in
    the budget allocation. Critiquing the use
    of school funding thus gives a fuller picture of the
    educational experience that is provided to students
    with the available resources.
    Without proper self-evaluation,
    failure is inevitable.
