A crucial and difficult component of budgeting is planning for
expenses within the available resources.
Based on the information collected in Clinical Field Experience

Current budget revenue and expenditures.
Proposed revenue and expenditures.
For line items that are increasing or decreasing significantly,

following:
How this group operates to support the school’s mission and
vision
Justification of how the requested expenditures will support
the school’s priorities and goals and promote continuous

REVIEW ASSIGNMENT
Assessment Description
In order to have a basic understanding of the budget
development
and oversight process, having the opportunity to talk with
someone
who has experience in this area (from beginning to end) will
help
21. you develop a better understanding of how it works.
Allocate at least 5 hours in the field to support this field
experience.
Part 1: Collaboration
Arrange your field experience for this course in a PK-12 school
setting in which you will observe and collaborate with a
certified
school principal. At this site, conduct a meeting with two of the
three people who are responsible for overseeing a school
program
budget: a teacher, staff member, or volunteer (e.g., booster club
president, treasurer, etc.).
Your discussion should address the following:
What program do you work with that has a budget?
Who helps to determine how the funds are allocated and
spent?
How did you find out the budget amount? Does this amount
fluctuate from year to year?
What determines the budget amount? How are the needs
assessed and analyzed?
22. Are there restrictions to what can be purchased/funded with
the budget?

from the needs assessment survey, and any additional field
experiences. Include a brief description of the meeting setting
and
the pseudo names (or real names with permission) and titles of
the
interviewees. Incorporate PSEL standards into your summary
and
describe how you will apply what you have learned to your
future
professional practice.
While APA style format is not required for the body of this

57. REVIEW ASSIGNMENT
Assessment Description
In order to have a basic understanding of the budget
development
and oversight process, having the opportunity to talk with
someone
who has experience in this area (from beginning to end) will
help
you develop a better understanding of how it works.
Allocate at least 5 hours in the field to support this field
experience.
Part 1: Collaboration
Arrange your field experience for this course in a PK-12 school
setting in which you will observe and collaborate with a
certified
school principal. At this site, conduct a meeting with two of the
three people who are responsible for overseeing a school
program
budget: a teacher, staff member, or volunteer (e.g., booster club
president, treasurer, etc.).
Your discussion should address the following:
58. What program do you work with that has a budget?
Who helps to determine how the funds are allocated and
spent?
How did you find out the budget amount? Does this amount
fluctuate from year to year?
What determines the budget amount? How are the needs
assessed and analyzed?
Are there restrictions to what can be purchased/funded with
the budget?

CLINICAL FIELD EXPERIENCE A: A Program Leader
Interview
Darius Washington
Grand Canyon : EAD – 510
December 2, 2021
Clinical field experience A: program leader interview
72. The interview conducted with the principal secretary, the
financial clerk, and the school principal offered a better
understanding of the collaborations and the work which must
occur for the finances in the campus to be assigned in the
correct manner and within the available resources. These three
individuals were interviewed regarding how they work with the
learners, their operations within the campus, their Title within
the institution, and their overall operations that regard the
finances. The reviews of how funds are assigned and the
determination of the most appropriate utilization of the money
that is available in the school are done by the sponsors of the
school, the principal of the school, as well as the county budget
services officer who is in charge of the district schools. The
daily reports of finances that are available are generated to keep
track of the overall amount the budget will have. These
summaries are also provided by the budget services within this
district.
It is crucial to understand that the overall financial
resources a campus might get may vary each year, and some
funds accounts can be expected to roll over to the next school
year. There are various factors that determine the amount of
budget an institution has in place. The campus budget does not
include matters such as the groups and clubs that are formed
within the institution. Organizations and clubs like the
cheerleading squad, drama club, or music club collect their
finances from the donations that well-wishers provide to them,
the fundraising operations they conduct, and the winning prizes
that they may get as a result of their competitiveness in certain
functions (Jarrell, 2020). The budget of the school is mainly
related to issues that directly involve the student’s enrollment
on the campus.
The institution utilizes a specific unique formula for
assigning each dollar value that is provided for every learner.
An assessment and analysis of the needs of the learners are
conducted by the income of the parents. There are certain
restrictions that are put in place regarding funding or making
73. purchases using the budget that is set. Only purchases made by
the vendors that the school has said they are qualified are
allowed. The particular products which are bought are funded
with the proper accounts to ensure accountability can be made.
Only specific individuals who are listed as having Title I are
allowed to perform these operations. It is essential to
understand that the time that the approval operations take can
cause an extension in the overall time interval for receiving the
products which are ordered within the institution (Counts &
Learns, 2020). It is quite a process of getting the necessary
people involved to sign and approve these purchases. In some
instances, the institution will include limitations in the
acquisition by limiting the properties of the items which are not
supported by the facility.
The program does not have the capability to add to the
budget of the school. The funds in the program are limited to
the money collected during fundraisers and donations. These
money acquiring methods do not offer substantial financial
resources that could be helpful in boosting the budget of the
entire school. The school's mission is to ensure that all students,
regardless of their social backgrounds, are able to get equal
opportunities for learning to ensure that they can become their
best selves (Bandiyono, 2020). The school’s budget is aligned
in that it allows all students to contribute equally to the
realization of the funds that are useful in providing education
opportunities to all learners. It will enable the school to fulfill
the objective of managing the school in a manner that provides
the best conducive environment for learning without
disruptions.
The budget ensures that the academic and financial goals
of the students are supported. It allows management of the
institution to allocate necessary funds towards offering the best
learning tools, which are essential in determining the manner
the students are taught, the level of accuracy in the teaching
techniques, and the understanding capabilities of the students. It
ensures that the long-run operations of teaching are projected in
74. the high performance of the students. Also, it allows students to
learn how to utilize their financial resources accordingly in the
present as well as in the future. The school's budget
reconciliation operations involve discussion of the changes in
spending which are expected in specific departments, the
revenue changes which has to be put in place, and the limit of
deficits that the school can have regarding the various projects
which have been started or underway (Courtright. et al., 2019).
The targets which have been discussed and set up have to be
achieved through the drafting of bills that will ensure the
financial operations of various departments are guided in their
spending.
In summary, it is clear that the institution’s budget is
structured by the approved school committee and must follow
the financial resources that are available. It is aligned with the
mission and vision of the school, and therefore, it ensures that
the learning environment is made conducive for learning
purposes to all students. Purchasing of items within the
institution is guided by the allocating finances and must be
approved by the obligated school members.
