Continuing Education Courses
Overview
Money doesn’t solve everything, but it helps! This course gives a brief overview of school finance, including school budgets, activity accounts, parent club accounts, community donations, and programs such as Title I. Course participants will then work with the instructor in the larger class, small group, and individually to work on plans and proposals for equipment and services that benefit their students and programs.
A special focus will be taken on techniques for music teachers to both advocate and negotiate for themselves and their programs and shift to a mindset that “there is always money somewhere.”
Finally, some budget-saving techniques and tips will be shared to help best spend the dollars that we already have.
Upon completion of the course, participants will have access to sample financial request scripts and proposals.
