Middle School Library Budget
This particular budget was created for a specific middle school; it includes books, reference materials, electronic materials, and technology, as well as a sample grant proposal. The budget sets forth a specific plan for how to meet the needs of students and teachers. It also recognizes that the community is an important part of the school system and includes them in showcasing student work. Throughout this assignment, I took into consideration state assessment scores and school and community demographics in order to best determine how the budget should be spent. As a school library media specialist, I will utilize assessment scores and other school statistics in order to determine how to utilize budget allocations. These critical thinking and assessment skills can be translated into any library situation in order to best meet the needs of a specific patron group.
