Create an annual budget for the school using a digital spreadsheet. Base this budget on the data and information gathered from the schoolwide budgetary needs assessment you administered in Clinical Field Experience B, your previous analyses of past and current budgets, and any additional observations you may have relating to school process and operations that could affect the school budget. Align the budget to the school’s current CIP/SIP goals.
Include the following components in your budget:
Current budget revenue and expenditures
Proposed revenue and expenditures
For line items that are increasing or decreasing significantly, include an explanation for the increases and decreases, with support from the data you gathered to prepare the budget. (For example, if you observed a process that could be changed and would result in a decreased expenditure, explain that process improvement.)
Strategies demonstrating line items you would adjust if you do not receive the funds you are requesting
Line items you would add if you receive more funds than anticipated
In a 250-500 word reflection, describe the data you analyzed to identify and prioritize items on the budget. Justify how the proposed budget supports the school’s CIP/SIP priorities and goals.

Assessment Description
A program budgetary needs assessment determines the financial needs of a small group or program in order to assist schools in allocating funds based on needs and priorities. A program budget review requires looking at key information about a program in order to develop a clear picture of how the program fits into the school’s continuous improvement plan.
Part 1: Budget Summary
For this assignment, to help familiarize you with budgets, analyze the budget of a small group at your site. If you cannot access a small group budget, you may utilize the “Small Group Sample Budget.”
In 250-500 words, write a summary of the budget that includes:
A brief overview of the program or activity including its purpose, structure, and participants
Current budget expenditures, including unexpected (unbudgeted) expenses
Current budget revenue
Non-budgetary resources required to operate and meet organizational goals (e.g., volunteers, facilities, large equipment provided by school or community)
A description of how the budget is monitored, and the process of how unexpected adjustments are made to the budget
Part 2: Program Budgetary Needs Assessment Survey
Create an 8-10 question needs assessment survey in an online survey tool (e.g., Survey Monkey) that you would give to a program or small group leader on a school campus in order to analyze their program’s budgetary needs. You will be administering this needs assessment survey in Topic 2. Examples of possible small groups include special programs, clubs, after school activities, sports clubs, student activities, etc.
The needs assessment survey should address, but not be limited to, the following:
Assessment of the current conditions or the group’s ability to achieve its stated goals or outcomes (e.g., what is working/strengths and what is lacking/areas of opportunity)
Resources required to fulfill the operations of the group
Wants and requests needed for the group
Gaps that are affecting the performance of the group
Provide the link to your online needs assessment survey on the bottom of your summary.
APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.
Use the file “Small group sample budget” as on of the source and to do the assignment.
