School Finance

Description

Each state, and often school district, has different policies, financial systems and budgeting. In this course, you are given samples of the type or resources to access on the Internet from accounting guides for new administrators to charts of account systems, legislative activity, status of lawsuits dealing with finance and current controversial issues related to school finance. You will compare your district with districts across the United States and districts with similar demographics and you will look at some creative or alternative ways of supplementing your financial resources.

Course Type

These courses have two objectives: to help you learn the various research tools step-by-step from the basics so you become a proficient Internet researcher on any topic, and to explore and discover educationally useful information on the topic you chose to apply to your role as teacher, counselor, or administrator. All courses in this series are three semester hours and available as “On-Line” or “E-Courses.” All materials needed for the course are provided and your instructor is available daily by email or phone.
