I have gained knowledge and skills in the following: effective budget planning and management; acquiring, allocating, and managing resources according to district vision and priorities, including obtaining and using funding from various sources; managing my own time and the time of others to enhance district operations; and applying legal concepts, regulations, and codes as required. I am still competent, but not strong in the following areas: using district and staff evaluation data for personnel policy development and decision making; and using revenue forecasting and enrollment forecasting to address personnel and budgetary needs accurately. I still need improvement in the following areas: work collaboratively with board of trustees and appropriate personnel to develop district budgets; facilitate and evaluate effective account auditing and monitoring that complies with legal requirements and local district policy; and establish district procedures for accurate, effective, ethical purchasing and financial record keeping and reporting.
The lectures, interviews, readings, and resources have been a tremendous source of help for my knowledge and skills in the area of school finance. Learning to the history of school finance, budget planning/implementation/evaluation, and educator ethics will help me be an effective superintendent.
The weekly assignments, activities, and interviews have been invaluable. The superintendent and school business office personnel have given me insights that will help me continue to develop my knowledge and skills to be an effective superintendent.
