The procedures cover management, revenue and expenditure classifications, decentralized expenditures, budget control, and school decentralized funding allocation. Principals have responsibilities for expenditure control and can carry forward budget surpluses. The Superintendent of Business Administration and Manager of Facilities recommend major capital projects to the Director, who then recommends the top three to the Board for approval.
