Budget Model Template
Just as a map is used to determine the best route to a destination and to confirm progress during the journey, a sound budget is the official "map" of the inflow of revenue and the outflow of expenditure for the school year. It must be accurate, attainable and contain sufficient detail for the finance committee and administrative staff, especially for those who use it throughout the year. It will be used to predict what will be earned and spent and to evaluate progress in actual terms against these predictions.
The SCSBC School Budget Template is based on a progressive step-by-step process and a detailed set of assumptions for all revenue and expense categories. The expenses are segregated for instructional, administration, development and promotion, transportation, special education, facilities, capital and financing categories. It is a highly interactive spreadsheet program, which takes into consideration all aspects of school operations.
The Budget Template is intuitive, and specific to British Columbia independent schools. It includes flexibility of reporting and segregation of transportation, special needs and preschool, and allocation tools for elementary, middle and high school. The budget template is user friendly and does not require more than basic Excel experience.
