Budget Review Collaboration Strategies:
Conduct a detailed budget review for the top priority identified in the Financial Needs Assessment
assignment. Analyze the district budget. As stated in the Financial Needs Assessment, data are to be used
from a district/school system. The analysis is to convey multiple perspectives (for example: administrator,
teachers, parents, etc.) regarding both the sufficiency and efficiency of the funding.
