Fiscal
Module 3: Appropriations
In this module, participants will gain a deeper understanding of the meaning of appropriations in the Legislature's budget bill.
IMPORTANT: Due to the change from legacy FMS to Aukahi FMS (AFMS) in July 2021, please note the following:
Some of the original modules or portions of the modules related to old system are obsolete. These modules now link to new/current guidance, and/or indicate portions that are outdated.
The remaining policy-based modules or portions of the module are still relevant, but may refer to the old system's terminology. A crosswalk/glossary of FMS to AFMS terminology changes is available here.
Most "FMS" forms have been changed to "AFMS" forms. All new/current AFMS guidance, forms, charts, and other resources are available on the new AFMS website at afms.k12.hi.us.
The quiz in PDE3 and folder labels may no longer align.
Over the next few weeks (April – May 2022), makeshift updates will be performed on several outdated courses as a first step, with development of more cohesive placeholder guidance as the second step, and a re-visioned next generation of SASA Resources as the third step.
The objectives of this learning module include:
Distinguish between appropriations, allocations, and allotments.
Understand which types of funds cannot spend more than the amount in the appropriation ceiling.
Provide examples of where the Appropriation Code could be found.
Understand the relationship between Appropriations and Weighted Student Formula.
