Facilities Operations and Maintenance A site-based administrator has a variety of responsibilities concerning the financial aspects of Facilities Operations and Maintenance. On a day-to-day basis, a principal might find him or herself working closely with the bookkeeper to oversee the budget, addressing the needs of custodians, attending to school security and safety, as well as monitoring energy use. Some facets of Facilities Operations and Maintenance, such as energy bills, are controlled directly by the school district while others, such as budgeting for custodial supplies, are in the hands of the principal. In order for a school to run efficiently, administrators must become effective managers of their designated facilities. The state of …show more content…
The tentative budget for Wesley Chapel High School for the 2015-2016 school year is $42,848.00 based on an ADM of 1,646 students and 93.40 instructional allocations (McKinney, L., personal communication, June 29, 2015). The principal must divide the budget to cover funding for supplies and equipment for each school department such as English, Math, ESOL, etc. as well as for guidance counselors, administration, and custodial needs. Wesley Chapel High School also maintains an extra basic funds account that can be used at the discretion of the principal to cover special teacher requests. At the end of a school year, McKinney says, the remaining funds in this account are used to purchase copy paper for the following school …show more content…
The custodial budget must also cover replacing keys, broken locks, and broken glass. McKinney notes, however, that desks, overhead projectors and other classroom equipment, are covered by a different part of the budget. Outdoors, Pasco County does not contract out for lawn maintenance so the custodial budget must also cover lawn equipment and custodians are tasked with maintaining the grass and various plants at the school. When it comes to sports fields, however, many coaches prefer to maintain them themselves. While the school district is responsible for the salaries earned by the custodial staff, it is the principal and plant manager who determine when the custodians will work (Hetzler-Nettles, C., personal communication, July 2, 2015). Average Daily Membership (ADM) determines the number of custodians allocated to each school as well as the number of custodial hours that the district will fund. The principal and plant manager use the number of custodians and the number of custodial hours to determine which custodians will work four-hour shifts and who will work
Stacey Smith draws from research that involves the issues of California’s statehood, her book Freedom’s Frontier (Chapel Hill, University of North Carolina Press, 2013), Smith states that the events leading up to the California’s state
As of December 4, 2004, Brigham’s budget for youth services in 2005 is $60,000 with counseling services, or $40,000 without. That money is distributed throughout Hillsboro and nearby Deering, NH, for all youth-oriented programs and is used up rather quickly. While the budget does not assign a specific amount of money to each service provided, this budget ultimately needs outside assistance.
Delaware, one of the thirteen British Colonies, became a sovereign state in 1776 and gained its independence from Great Britain on June 15th, 1776. On February 22, 1779 Delaware signed the Articles of Confederation, then later became the first state to ratify the Constitution, sometime around December 1787. For its ratification, Delaware is known as the “First State.” This state got its “Delaware” name from the Delaware River as you can see the resemblance. The motto that Delaware goes by is “Liberty and Independence,” and became their motto when it was added to Delaware's state seal. Some other nicknames that have been given to Delaware over time would be “Diamond State” and “Blue Hen State”.
The School Department got $1.35 million. Of that, $881,033 went toward municipal spending, and roughly $138,000 was put toward debt service.
School funding is a recurring issue in the modern era. Debates ranging from give schools more money, to get rid of the system in place and reform a new idea have been plaguing the world over the years. “The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, signed in 2009, provided more than $100 billion in education aid to offset budget cuts..” (School Finance). Later, “Congress provided an additional $10 billion in 2010 to avert mass teacher layoffs (Education Week, "Total Recovery Act")” (School Funding). These numbers are just a sample of the struggles in school funding, that is costing a ton of money to keep afloat. “There are many ways schools fund varying from state to state and even school to school. Income taxes, corporate taxes, sales taxes, and other fees provide 48 percent of the elementary and secondary school funds. 44 percent of local districts draw money from local property taxes. The federal government makes up approximately 8 percent of state education budgets. These funds are a dealt out on a per-student basis, and categorically to ensure enough resources for each special program or facility” (School Funding). These funds play a huge role in every student's education, either positive or negative. The three main areas that need to be addressed in the school budget are extracurricular funding, building and equipment maintenance, and last but not least staff funding.
The state that was chosen for this project is Delaware. Delaware is a small state located in the Mid-Atlantic. Delaware is usually referred to as the first state, because it was the first state to sign the constitution. Delaware can also be called the Blue Hen State because the blue hen is the official bird of Delaware, and because of the blue hens that Delaware soldiers carried around during the revolutionary war. Delaware even has a third nickname, the Diamond state, because Thomas Jefferson said it was a “jewel.”
California, the place to turn cant’s into cans and dreams into plans. The same situation and scenarios apply today and even over one hundred and sixty five years ago. Then and now are not so different, people are thriving or failing from the land of plenty, supplying themselves with knowledge, wealth, or skill to either spread their wings and take flight or crash and burn. Each state in the United States of America has a correlating nickname to either why it’s famous or an explanation of its history. California’s state name is The Golden State, and going all the way back to 1849 is why this was such an influential time for California and all of America.

To examine what state formation is and how it has occurred the logical route seems to assess from where they have evolved. The notion of the state is a relatively recent concept, for example in 1555 there existed only two national states, England and France. With otherwise the existence of disorganised and corrupt empires, federations and protectorates. It appears states have formed despite the many obstacles facing their development. Not only did the challenges of securing territory exist but ri...
