Part 2: Reflection

Georgian Hills' achievement elementary school mission statement is to provide high-quality education, build strong character,
and empower students to excel in middle school, high school, college, and beyond. The primary goal of my school's mission and
vision statement is to provide an equitable a high-quality education to the students and families that we serve. Support services
especially those that are received by students is a necessary budget category for the success of any school. The first way to do this is to
budget for programs and services that are going to directly impact students. Budget line items that align with supporting student
growth are student organizations, guidance services, and psychological services. These components align with both the mission and
vision statement along with our school improvement plan. Investing in the social and emotional growth of our students is just as
important as investing in their academic growth. Another budget category that aligns with the mission statement and school
improvement goals is supplies and materials. Items like textbooks, instructional aides, and teacher development will ensure that
students receive the education that they deserve. Lastly, payroll costs are a necessity in ensuring that the mission and vision statement
along with the SIP are upheld. Paying staff and faculty an employing substitute supports the school’s goals of increasing math and
reading proficiency. 
Ensuring that the school's budget aligned with the school's mission vision in continuous improvement initiatives is
the principal’s responsibility because as the leaders of the school they must take ownership of all aspects of
the school’s functionality. School leaders are held accountable for the success and failure of the school and that success or failure is
directly related to how funds are allocated. As the individual with the greatest amount of power, principals must expect to take on the
greatest amount of responsibility.
