Overview
The Finance Operations team, in conjunction with Human Resources, Communications and Technical Trainers from Information Technology, is providing professional development for the 2006-07 budget cycle. These sessions have three objectives:
| • | Provide general information about the budgeting process and site budget development processes |
| • | Provide opportunities to work with principal peer presenters who have exceptional understanding of the budgeting process and/or who have exceptional skills with the use of the Excel-based budget workbook |
| • | Provide a preview of web-based training tools being designed to guide you through the use of the budget workbook |
Training objectives will be met through the use of two professional development sessions and a library of online, on-demand job aids and video-based demonstration tools that support use of the budget workbooks.
The guiding principles for the overall budget planning work are to:
| • | Provide relevant professional development related to the budgeting and staffing processes for various, relevant audiences |
| • | Create training that addresses the varying knowledge gaps depending on experience as an administrator, size/location of school site, and familiarity with the budget workbook (a Microsoft Excel-based document tool) |
| • | Deliver professional development that provides both ‘in-person” and online training modalities with the intention of keeping principals on school sites whenever possible |
| • | Use district staff and resources effectively and efficiently. |
Training Objectives
In the design and delivery of the professional development and training tools for budget planning, the objective is to address the district’s need to:
| • | Build a district-wide perspective and knowledge about budgeting |
| • | Build a common culture and language surrounding funding |
| • | Recognize the different needs of secondary and elementary sites |
| • | Recognize the experience among administrators and school staffs varies widely |
| • | Leverage and maximize the district’s existing technical infrastructure and online training and knowledge management tools |
| • | Establish and enhance cross-departmental collaboration on professional development |
Objectives will be met through three mechanisms:
| The "Big Picture" |
|---|
| 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 New Items |
|---|
| This
session is designed to provide an overview of the changes that have occurred
in the budget picture since the December 7, 2005 Principals Operations
meeting. An overview of the changes, recent state budget projections,
changes in the workbooks, class-size reduction requirements, and the
impact of future salary enhancement strategies on site budgets will be
discussed. >> Learn more |
| Budget Workbook Support |
|---|
| Designed to build and expand technical familiarity and skill with
the Excel-based Budget Workbook. These technical training tools will
be available ONLY online,
and will include video-based demonstration tools as well as job aids
to address technical issues including accessing of files and error
checking. Online availability means these tools are available on-demand
and can be viewed from your workstation at any time, and as often
as you like. |
