If you click here you can see the HSFI budget . Here are some tips for reading the budget:

• Where a school spends their money should reflect their educational philosophy. For example, in a school that values sports, you might see more money spent on physical education teachers. As such, one way to approach the budget is to look for patterns in the spending. Does this match stated educational values?

• Salaries are usually pretty steady. Don't focus on those numbers, but you may want to focus on what positions are funded, and what positions are not funded. There is some discretion there.

• Focus on the bottom that says "OTPS". This stands for other than personnel services. This is money where admin has more discretion. This is the money used for consultants and contracts. As such, we can have more input there.
