The attainment of a shared vision for the school district and each and every student is at the root of establishing a goal driven budget. Without a focus on the end result, a budget is not effective. Each of the departments and campuses which provide services for our students must have a common goal in mind. Although there are many departments included in a budget they all must have a common direction which provides the end result of a positive educational experience for our students.
The site based committees established are responsible for the focus in which our budget must be directed. The input from those carrying out the day to day operations is vital in the development of the goals of student success. The student success initiative established as a goal of our District Educational Improvement Committee is expected to filter to the campuses and departments which drive the financial resources to be focused on achieving our goals. Using Title funds to address the additional needs of our students based on our economically disadvantaged campuses is part of the financial plan. These programs are vital in our district meeting the goals established in our district improvement plan.
The Board of Trustees also has a stake in the establishment of goals in the district improvement plan because their “version of the vision” should be reflected in the plans established in the overall plan as well as each campus and department.
