EDU 683 - School Finance
3-0-3
This couse will provide candidates with an overview of the major areas of school business and resource management, focusing on the duties of a school administrator, including school finance and budgeting. Candidates will compare a school-based educational leader’s daily role of decision-making related to finance and budgeting with the district-level educational leader. The course examines the basic conceptual issues in school finance, including the sources of funding for local schools; the basis of fiscal federalism; and different conceptions of equity. It also includes the major programs of federal and state funding and introduces budgets and the budgeting process. These topics also will be examined: school safety, educational facilities planning and management, school accounting and auditing, cash management, risk management, purchasing and central distribution, school food service, student transportation, property tax, SPLOST, and construction funding. The course equips leaders to engage the community in understanding and supporting the educational process of all students, including those from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds and other underrepresented populations.
