Overview
The “Big Picture” training is designed to provide an overview of the district budget, the budgeting process, and the thought and time management processes that assist principals in developing a student focused site budget.

The intended audience includes principals who are new principals, principals who are new to their level (formerly elementary and now secondary, etc.), small school principals, and other invited administrators. Vice-principals are invited and encouraged to attend. Additionally, all central office managers who have a role or interest in budget planning and/or Title I programs are invited to attend.
