ABSTRACT

In this study, how San Roque National High School made use of its MOOE fund

within four years, from 2008 to 2012 and the extent of MOOE’s contribution to how the school

improved within the four-year period especially with its building and other structural repair and

maintenance was investigated. The descriptive-survey method was employed with half of the

data collected was taken from the recorded MOOE expenditures of San Roque NHS over four

consecutive school fiscal years, 2008-2009 to 2011-2012. The other half of the data was

derived from the self-made survey questionnaire which determined the extent of school

improvement in terms of building maintenance, physical facilities, instructional materials, and

other MOOE features as perceived by all teachers who started or had been teaching since 2008,

4th-year students and their corresponding parents. Results of the survey determined the

following areas of expense and their conforming average percentage allocation from 2008 to

2012: repair and maintenance, 43%; other supplies expenses, 29%; personnel expenses, 22%;

office supplies expenses, 4%, and; other MOOE, 1%. The repair and maintenance of school

building was concluded to be the dominant area that San Roque NHS administration prioritized

with the MOOE fund allocation while the least amount is given to the other MOOE. On the other

hand, the improvements of San Roque NHS as subsidized by the MOOE fund have the following

general extent as perceived by the research respondents: building maintenance – fair

improvement; physical facilities – fair improvement; instructional materials – less improvement,

and; other features – fair improvement.
