Topic: Aspects of designing a School Budget
Imagine that you have been asked to be on a panel of school administrators at a national conference. Your panel is presenting information on what you see as “hot topics” regarding the design process and the strategies used to maintain a K–12 school budget.
Use these articles as a starting point for your research:

Feel free to find additional articles in the Library or from the internet that you can use as well. Your task is to use the articles to form an outline of your presentation. The outline should contain your main talking points concerning the design, implementation, and maintenance of a K–12 budget, as well as, a brief summary of each point. Post your response to the Discussion Board.
