Does the prospect of preparing your school district's budget seem daunting? Beginning school administrators, often having only one theoretical course on the subject under their belt, see the budget development process as a nightmare. New administrators, teachers, and board members who have little experience with budgeting are justifiably concerned by the prospect of their involvement in budgeting. This book leads the reader through all stages of the process, from the theoretical underpinnings (history, types of budgets, etc.) and practical considerations (revenue planning, budget calendar, etc.) through to the adoption of the budget and its implementation. Includes sample budgets, and tips for administration of a budget once it is in place.

Hi, I'm Silverman, at least that's what people call me. This book is about me, and my friends, but mostly about me, and my life. I had a girlfriend, but she left. It took a while to figure out how to deal with that, not really sure if I actually did figure it out. Either way, it wasn't easy. I'm not even sure it was interesting. Mark tells me that it is, but I don't know. I used to wonder what would be left for me after it was all done, whether the remainder of my life would ever live up to the turbulence of my youth and I still do, sometimes, when the stars are near and I remember the faces that have passed by. In the end I drank too much, accomplished so little and, eventually, found myself stranded, wondering how to get back to some place I had only vague memories of, alone at the end of another summer.
