  1. Understanding Your Budget Gwynn Park Middle School Student-Based Budgeting February 2012

  2. What is Student-Based Budget? SBB allows school administrators, parents, and community members to guide the decision-making process for how school budgets should be spent. This new process, done solely at the school level, essentially gives the school community more authority over their school budgets, encourages innovation and enhances school effectiveness.

  3. How Our School Is Funded Proposed Increase to $3,110 Proposed subsidy of $400 per pupil due to low enrollment

  4. What to do with the dollars? Monies left over after buying “Unlocked” positions become Discretionary Spending. What does this mean? Classroom Teacher Supplies Staff Development Supplies Student Supplies Library Books Field Trips Classroom Equipment Professional Development Classroom Furniture Office Supplies Maintenance & Repair of Machines Education Communication Equipment Computers Custodian Supplies Substitutes These are just a few of the categories that funds need to be allocated to keep a school running. Schools are able to purchase “Unlocked” resources with SBB funds. Schools determine the composition and mix: Assistant Principal Classroom Teacher Data Coach Guidance Counselor Instructional Lead Teacher Paraprofessional Educator Reading Specialist School Business Accounting Technician School Secretary I & II School Accounting Secretary School Guidance Secretary Testing Coordinator Schools can also purchase “Locked +” positions: Athletic Director, Media Specialist, School Registrar Security Assistant, Pupil Personnel Worker
