Discuss with your principal mentor/school leader and district financial adminstrators the following:

The current school budget-
The schools budget operates out of two funds- general attachment and Title 1. In our district, general allotment is handled at the district level. After salaries are paid, school get a small allotment to run the schools. It totals in the amount of around $10,000 for the full year. Title one has a budget of @ $90,000 that all goes to salaries and benefits.

The proportion of the total expenditures at the school (including salaries) that the school may allocate without approval by the district.
The only funds that we may allocate without approval of the district is money that is fundraised through the school.

The discretion the school has over the amounts and purposes of school-level spending within the monies allocated to the school
The school has guidelines that we have to follow when spending, however, I have a lot of discretion on what I can spend monies on just as long as they stay in the guideline of the board policies.

District, school, and union contract policies that define the processes and purposes of local budgeting
