After our last cohort meeting on funding, it is nice to connect what we learned there to our school site. I definitely learned a lot meeting with my principal. The only experience I have with site funding is through being a part of School Site Council. I know that categorical funding is more difficult to spend because there are specific guidelines and protocols to follow. For this reason it is important to spend categorical funds prior to tapping into site funds.
There is definitely a lot more I need to learn about budget and funding. My list of things (as a future administrator) to learn is certainly growing...
We will all learn as we go through. Fortunately, CUSD has a great support system and conduct regular meetings and lab time to provide support for the many new job duties that go along with a new administration position.
