  1. School Councils and Budget

  2. Main Responsibilities The school council has three main responsibilities with budgets: • to adopt and monitor the annual budget making adjustments as needed • to use all the school’s resources (e.g., allocated funds, allocated staff and time) to help reach student achievement goals • to request additional funds (Section 7 money) from the board of education

  3. What do you know about your school council and its budget decisions? • How would you describe the school council’s budget role? • How does the school council use its resources to support teachers’ efforts in helping all students learn? • How does the school council monitor resources and the effect of those resources on student achievement?

  4. Budget Responsibilities Seeing the school council’s role with budgets in respect to the rest of the school community can make it clearer. The chart on page 3 of your participant’s booklet outlines the school council’s role, the principal’s role and teachers’ roles as they relate to the funds that are allocated to the school.

  5. Reflection What questions do I already have about our school council budget?

  6. Responsibility 1: To adopt and monitor the annual budget, making adjustments as needed.

  7. Reflection Describe your process for staffing allocations. What questions do you still have?

  8. Responsibility 2: To use all the school’s resources (i.e., allocated funds, allocated staff and time) to help reach student achievement goals.

  9. Responsibility 3: To request (most often in writing) from the local school board for additional funds. These funds are usually referred to as Section 7 Funds.

  10. Reflection What is one idea about the budget you are going to take back to your school council and share?
