Standard 4.1 - Budget An adequate annual budget should be developed, allocated, and used for the operation of the program. The budget should be prepared by the institutional administration in conjunction with the program faculty with input from the advisory committee. Budget status reports should be made available to program staff at least quarterly.
4.1.A. State the process used to determine the program budget.
Budgets are based on overall high school budget and spending for previous year. Also, faculty are asked if they have large capital expenditures that may need to be made in the next 3-5 years and moneys are allocated to support that if feasible. Additionally, departments shift money from one area to another based on those large expenditures annually.
4.1.B. Provide budget information and highlight pertinent discussion regarding budget in Advisory Committee minutes.
4.1.C. Refer to 4.1 A. Provide copies of budget requests. ETLs may interview program staff.
We do not have a budget request form or process. It is simply a discussion with the administration discussing upcoming needs and wants.
4.1.D. Provide a copy of the last quarter’s report.
