2009-2010 WSF Implementation Manual FY2009-10 - Hawaii ...

Weighted Student Formula / School Financial Plan Implementation Manual – FY2009-2010
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.
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.
