EDL 742 - Advance Finance and Budget Issues for Educational Leaders

The school finance and budget course is essential for district administrators or school administrators. Responsible for the ethical and strategic use of resources, the school finance and budget administrator cannot completely delegate financial responsibility to another office. Thus, this course will cover a broad range of topics designed to acquaint students with the fundamentals of funding formulas, accounting procedures, procurement regulations, taxation principles, fiduciary oversight, audits, and general management of state and local funding formulas. Developing skills necessary to manage the complete financial program of a district and, in turn, a school will be a major focus of this course.
