This
assignment has opened my eyes to an area of uncharted territory. There is so
much to learn when it comes to school funding. At times this has been a little
overwhelming but a welcome challenge. I have spoken to our finance director
many times in the last few weeks in regards to question about funding and budgeting.
She was the first one to say that you can’t do it all by yourself. It is a
group effort and everyone lends a hand in the process. It is almost impossible for
one person to be an expert in all areas of state and local funding and district
budgeting.
As I reviewed my districts finance summery I tried to wrap my head
around all the numbers so that it made since. I was shocked to see the amount
of money it takes to operate a school district. I had to crunch the numbers
several time because I thought that I was entering them in wrong. What a
sticker shock.
