Based on this week’s readings and Superintendent and Business Manager interviews, I learned that the Superintendent plays an integral role in the budgeting process. I found the reading in Learning from the Best: Lessons from Award-Winning Superintendents to be very informative and thought that expending the budget ideally at 98 percent of the gross estimate would be a great method of ensuring a balanced budget, if possible. I had never considered that a Superintendent should spend the equivalent of one work day per week, or 20 percent of their time, reviewing the district budget. I understand why this is necessary, but this is an area in which I will have to pay close attention and learn considerably more about to feel comfortable and confident that I know what I am doing.
