School Facilities and Finance

This course offers a study of the management and operation of a school facility and an understanding of school finance as it relates to the teaching and learning process.

Students will examine various tools and methodologies that support the school process and how to connect with community members in the budget building process. This course aims to make students better managers and consumers of financial information rather than budget officers; students will better understand the real-world implications and consequences of their decisions and allocations.
