The document discusses the phases of developing a comprehensive guidance and counseling program, including management activities, program operations, and budget planning. Management activities establish and maintain the program through professional development, community relations, advisory committees, community outreach, and research. Program operations consist of activities that support the program through implementation, professional development, community relationships, and promotion. Budget planning involves determining objectives, limiting factors, revenue sources like fees, and constructing a financial plan to achieve program goals and priorities.

14. Budget Planning
What is a budget?

and their organizational aspirations.
 The financial budget is a way of quantifying the resources needed to
achieve these objectives.

15. Budget Planning
A counseling program budget is established to support the program
goals and priorities.
The Guidance budget is crucial to the implementation of all Guidance
Programs.

16. Budget Planning
Sources of Revenue:
In School setting:
1. Guidance Fees
Most schools charge a Guidance
Fee as part of the miscellaneous fees of the students.

17. Budget Planning
Sources of Revenue:
2. Application Fees
 Some schools collect Application Fees from prospective enrollees.
 Since personnel, testing materials and supplies and time are used in screening applicants
for admission, a percentage of the application fee is remitted to the Guidance budget.

18. Budget Planning
Sources of Revenue:
3. Testing Fees
 Some academic institutions have veered away from directly testing their students by
employing the services of testing centers like the Center for Educational Measurement and
the Asian Psychological Services and Assessment Corporation.

19. Budget Planning
Those schools charge their students a separate testing fee or draw from the Guidance
Fee.
Since both testing agencies administer, correct, summarize, and interpret tests and
conduct related research on them, savings are made on Guidance Resources and the
school does not accumulate test materials over the years.

1. Identify organizational or project objectives.
2. Decide what is the ‘Limiting Factor’
3. Gather the data.
4. Determine the amount to be received.
