Reflections on the TEA Budgeting Guidelines Document


The TEA Budgeting Guidelines Document -2010

The TEA Budgeting Guidelines Document is a very detailed account of the budgeting process.  The document helps in developing a plan of action to develop a budget.  It allows guidance in preparing for what you need to know in establishing a budget and it allows you the information for a good evaluation in finalizing the budget.  Objectives are clearly stated and understood in the manual.

The document is a very helpful and useful resource in defining and explaining any part of the budget process.  It provides a very detailed timeline concurrent with a calendar for the planning stage.  It provides you with examples in the preparation stage.  The document evens helps you understand how to prepare for the future by giving samples of projections.  It clearly states objectives and responsibilities that must be followed and adhered too.  The manual provides you with laws you must follow in preparing the budget.  It also gives you a sample of the district and campus budget in which you can follow.  The document even goes over grants and construction projects.

I can use this document as a resource for just about any type of clarification in the budgeting process.  For someone who knows little about the budget and the process that is used, the TEA Budgeting Document is a very helpful guide in understanding and defining the way to finalize a budget.  I have learned that the budget process must be organized because of the interactive approach that should be taken to establish a budget.
