Budget Example

Example Budget (Proposal)

This is a “proposal.”

Remembering Talks about membership in classes. How many students does it take to break even? What are “other” teacher’s class loads

expected to be? What should our class loads expected to be? What can we do to “make money?”

Where are we???? Skills Tests

See Skills Certificate printout

We are above the state average by a small percent.

Do we have room to improve?

Keep good records (performance documentation and summaries)

Summer Ag

All timesheets and travel expenses must be submitted by October 1st of this year.

Expenses will be paid by December 1st (no exceptions)

Please finish the final report and get it submitted by August 31st. It would be REALLY nice if we could do it before school starts.

Licensure

You are responsible for keeping track of your teaching license expiration.

If you are not approved at the state level, we do not receive $ for class membership.

Enrollments

We do not receive funding for students who take a skills test for a class they are not enrolled in.

Enroll the students in correct classes, even if it means having two classes in the same period.

Extended Days

We are planning to allow for two extended summer days again, to be paid at the daily rate. This $ would be for summer conference.

Purchase Orders

New financial system for requisitions.

All POs must be generated by the school secretary.

There is an approval chain. Once the necessary approvals are given, the PO can be submitted for ordering and payment.

Open POs can still be generated, but they need to have a $ amount specified. Make your best guess and work through it as needed.

Counseling

Interim reviews for all schools will be held October 2nd through the 4th.

Classes in PowerSchool must match those in CACTUS. Please notify Diane of changes in schedules.

Roll Books

Please sign and return the roll books for Diane.

CTE Intro Plans

We will notify you as soon as new forms are posted.

Due to Diane by October 1st.

Remember: You need two signature pages (Fall and Spring) Include the orientation activity and wrap-up

activity Also include team meeting dates Fill in all the blanks

CTSOs

We receive additional WPU funding based on a formula for CTSOs.

We have paid stipends to advisors, but it’s not equitable if the CTSO is “in name only.”

Restructure?

Diane’s Phone List

Please fill in as much information as you are willing to share.

The list will not be publicized.

It’s easier to find you if we have your home or cell phone

Calendar Items

Consistent Class Fees

Background: Because we are allowed to conduct our programs according to our desires and the needs of the schools and students, we are also allowed freedom to set our class fees. We have been questioned by parents about the difference between the fee structures in our schools.

Goal: Develop a consistent class fee structure for each CTE area.

Student achievement will meet or exceed state averages in language arts, mathematics, and science on end-of-level assessments.

DCSD Goal #2

DCSD will improve classroom instruction by hiring highly qualified teachers, facilitating continuous improvement using professional learning communities, providing high quality professional development and recognizing teacher excellence.

DCSD Goal #3

DCSD will provide a safe and orderly environment that enhances the social and emotional well-being of all employees and students by teaching and modeling positive etiquette.

What Makes us Different?

Our emphasis is different: We have a history of preparing students for the

workplace. We focus on job skills.

Our funding sources are different. You have a budget

Why?
