EDLD 5342 School Finance
Everything we did and learned in this class served as an excellent learning experience for me. Everything from the History of School Finance, M&O Funding, WADA to Equality, Equity and Adequacy. School finance will be the most challenging job for a school Superintendent. One thing for sure is that one person alone can’t handle school finances. It takes a team effort. Working together as group in this class demonstrated a classic example of teamwork. Every member of the team contributed his or her point of view regarding different funding issues. Working together made the process of completing weekly assignments less challenging. All members of the group made the challenge easier. At times I found it difficult to be a contributing member of my group because of my work schedule. All members of the cohort have different work schedules and different challenges throughout the week. If we all worked for the same district, we pretty much would have been on the same pace. My interview with the Superintendent and District Manger were beneficial to me. They provided me with an insight and understanding of the planning, monitoring and evaluation process of the district’s budget. As future district leaders it is important that use all the resources of EDLU 5342 School Finance as tool to prepare us with the knowledge needed to lead a school district in the right path with a well planned balanced budget that will receive high ratings in the Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas. It is also important that we surround ourselvelves with colleagues that trustworthy and knowledgeable in school finance procedures.
