Reflection

This schoolwide budget is based on the budget I received from my principal. I based the

focuses of this budget on the conversations I had with multiple administrators and on the

feedback I received from the forms I sent out. The school’s SIP plan, which is a five-year

transformation plan, is focused this year around staff morale, staff culture, school culture, student

growth focused on the diverse student population.

The first area I looked to increase the budget on was teacher team curriculum writing

stipends and culturally responsive instruction materials. This was based on feedback from the

form about needing more curriculum that represents our student population. The other area I

increased budget on was making more spaces such as the library being transformed into group

work areas and increasing technology in those areas. This is also an area my current principal is

trying to update in the school.

PBIS is a great way to help reward students and help build positive culture in the school.

I looked to increase this budget to meet with the SIP and help support teachers who are working

to implement this in their classrooms. The other large increase in budget was based around

feedback from the forms I sent out. Most staff said they would feel better about the school if they

felt that their activities they sponsor were supported more by the school. Based on this, I looked

to increase the student activities and clubs funding for supplies and staff sponsors. I also

personally believe in getting students involved in activities and how positive that is for the

student culture.
 12

Focusing again on the staff morale and culture in the school, I increased the budget for

staff activities and team building. I also focused money towards professional development for

staff. This fits right into the goals my principal has for the school to meet our SIP. To help

support the diverse student population, I directed money towards credit recovery, after school

support programs, and increasing staff for these. This has also been a focus of my administration

with our SIP and has helped a lot last year with regards to increasing student scores and showing

growth in the school. I also made sure the MTSS budget remained strong and supported.

The last area I allocated money towards was transforming the classrooms and library to

modern and diverse spaces. This fits our school’s SIP. It will give the school a much-needed

facelift and a positive look for the community. Staff in the building are for this improvement

based the data I collected from my form. Should more budget become available, I would look to

add that to professional development for supporting underprivileged students, student activities

and clubs, professional development that teachers present, and just the general staff FTE.

Increasing staff in the building and keeping classroom sizes lower should always be a goal of

administrators. Nothing should support for our staff and students than being willing to hire more

FTE.
