EM223 Financial and Property Management
Question: Each year you are asked to provide input for your school budget. Your
principal/head of agency has just sent you a memo requesting that you prepare a plan
to update the equipment, software, furniture, supplies, and materials required for the
delivery of instruction and the general operation of your school/agency.
I. Executive Summary
The school budget is a financial plan that includes fiscal planning, obtaining
funding, making investments, and assessing outcomes. The school ensures that
activities are executed according to defined goals and priorities by using budget as a
standard.
Budgeting is the most important tool for making a plan for how your prospective
agency or school will spend money throughout the year. It can be used to keep track of
costs and other critical aspects that need to be improved, which greatly aids the
learner's growth and accomplishments. The school MOOE is designed to meet the
needs of a specific school principal or head of school, and should be used for that
purpose. For the budget to become a powerful guiding tool, it must include valuable
input from planning.
Such issues prevented most school heads or principals from using and
liquidating the monthly MOOE, and as a result, they were unable to receive the annual
budget.
Here are some of the many problems that hindered monthly liquidation.
2. Lack of transportation, which forces the administrator to use his or her own
vehicle and spend his or her own money. This is a common occurrence in mountain
schools because the supplier refuses to supply the products or change the expensive
shipping costs.
3. Repairs are not being done due to a lack of carpenters or workers. Staff are
occasionally unavailable, and repairs are unable to be completed. The workers
sometimes refuse labor that is 35% of the cost of materials.
4. Repairs are not possible due to a lack of funds from the MOOE. Because of
the high cost of electricity and water, the MOOE fund is insufficient to cover
maintenance and other required improvements to the school.
However, most reports were returned to schools so that they could provide the
additional documents that the Commission of Audit required.
