Track 9: Development of a Working Line-Item Budget & Monthly Financial Reporting
Participants will utilize district data to develop and manage a working line-item budget that aligns each line item with categorical funds and tracks receipts and expenditures throughout the year. They will learn how to access the financial status of their district and strategies for managing their district budget. Program budgeting, site-based budgeting, activity accounts, and coding of expenditures and revenue will guide instruction and learning. Because meaningful financial reporting is essential to the education of numerous audiences in the school and community, participants will review several examples of financial reports that provide meaning and understanding for internal staff, and community audiences as well as the board of education.
