Budget Reflection

Another great assignment to see a different side of administration that we do not see day to day as a teacher.  It was interesting to see where monies where allocated.  The reasoning for where the money would be put always came back to how it can positively affect student achievement.  It was great to see how closely the principal, GIS, and office manager work together with school finance.  All three of them had input when working on the budget assignment.  Everyone had there own responsibilities, yet it was clear that my principal knew what was going on.  This is something that I remembering hearing at our last class meeting.  Although you delegate the work, as a principal you still want to make sure you know what is going.  Stay in the loop.  It was nice to see how it worked at my school.
