School Business Management Strategy II

Catalog description

This graduate level course will focus on the process required to take the budget from the preliminary stage to the final approved budget. This will involve estimating equalization aid and property taxes. Special education funding will also be estimated and allocated. These estimates, once developed, will be prepared for presentation at the annual meeting. Following the annual meeting, final budget numbers received from the state will then be applied to finalize the budget and tax levy for final Board approval. Emphasis will be on presenting and explaining the school finance topics explored in this course.
