After examining budgets from all kinds of schools, over the past three
decades, two key findings emerged: school budgets reflect school
values, intentionally or not; and, there are noteworthy ways to reduce
the costs of operating schools. This text addresses two ways to gain
insight and shed light on the question: How much does a great school
cost? Sixteen educators were asked about their perceptions of
greatness in schools, innovations worthy of pursuit, and barriers to
change. This examination unpacks the expenditures and revenue options
in existing schools; as well as, costs associated with an envisioned
New School. This account addresses both an analysis of what is and
what could be, at the same time as revealing innovative ways to save
on schooling expenditures, and think differently about schools as
potential revenue-generating institutions. Changing mindsets is at the
core of school improvement, and while greatness may be defined in
different ways, the budget will reflect what matters in an
institution. A great school may not cost as much as you might think,
but the willingness to re-purpose funds and generate revenue, can help
jump start the engines of change.
