School-Based Budgeting Survey Study of Pilot Schools.
Robinson, Carol
This report describes results of a survey on school-based budgeting (SBB) in the Albuquerque, New Mexico, public schools (APS). SBB began in the 1986-87 school year at 33 of the 116 APS schools and alternative schools, with 16 elementary, 11 middle, and 6 high schools, participating in the first year. A total of 131 responses were received from the 33 pilot schools, with 31 (24 percent) of the respondents representing the high schools, 55 (42 percent) representing the middle schools, and 45 (34 percent) representing the elementary schools. Ninety-two (70 percent) of the respondents affirmed that school-based budgeting offers advantages not found in centralized budgeting systems. Background, evaluation design, and results for the program are presented. The survey form included four open-ended questions: (1) how SBB helped meet each school's needs; (2) what advantages over a centralized budget system were experienced; (3) any problems experienced with the implementation of SBB; and (4) recommendations and/or requests for 1987-88 continuation of the SBB plan. A summary of responses for the four questions is provided. Appended is a sample form of the SBB survey. (SI)
