Weighted Student Formula/School Financial Plan Implementation Manual M. OTHER ISSUES 1. Program manager’s monitoring responsibilities for WSF expenditures The program managers for programs that have been merged into WSF are not responsible for monitoring the schools’ expenditures for those programs. The accountability to improve student achievement, by following the AFP in the use of funds, rests with the principal. 2. Educational Specialist Responsibilities for Programs in WSF The educational specialist's primary role is to (1) conduct research and development of processes and practices to continually improve the quality of program implementation, (2) conduct quality monitoring, and (3) provide technical assistance to schools. A related responsibility is the allocation of other funds for programs in the WSF (e.g. federal funds for ESLL). 3. Allowable expenditures under WSF WSF expenditures must comply with state procurement rules and policies. 4. Geographic exceptions The timeline for geographic exceptions will not change. 5. Master Calendar The master calendar should be finished before the AFP is finalized. When the principal knows which courses the students want to take, the principal can use that data in developing the plan. 6. Long-term plan for small schools The DOE does not currently have a formal plan for small schools. WSF will give communities the opportunity to design programs for small schools that may keep them financially viable. Draft Version 5.0 Page 34 of 64
