              CONCEPT AND ROLES IN BUSINESS AND NON-INSTRUCTIONAL OPERATIONS


The Board of Education recognizes that finances and financial management are critical to the support of the
whole school program. To make that support as effective as possible, the Board of Education shall:

    1. Encourage advanced planning through the best possible budget procedures.

    2. Explore all practical sources of financial income.

    3. Guide the expenditure of funds so as to extract the greatest educational returns.

    4. Establish top-quality accounting and reporting procedures.

    5. Maintain the level of unit expenditure needed to provide high quality education within the ability of the
       community to pay.

The operation and maintenance of school plant and equipment shall set high standards of safety, to promote the
health of students and staff, to reflect prudent management of available resources and to support
environmentally the efforts of the staff to provide a good education.



Policy committee recommends removal because it is too prescriptive and an overreach of authority.
This will be replaced by new #3000 which consolidates 3110, 3113 & 3120
