D3C1A1

Through the many grants I manage, curriculum activities, and summer school, I generally manage around $5 million per year. Each of those grants involve personnel costs, training, travel, technology, and materials. Through the years, I have developed a system that makes it easy to keep on top of all these activities. I keep spreadsheets of each fund, with the proper budget codes. This helps me double check on the orders and the delivery of the materials. I have worked closely with the Budget Supervisor to make sure that the money is spent appropriately and within the parameters of the grant or department requirements.

  1. Good idea! I'm sure I'll get a taste of this on a larger scale now. May ask for those ideas.

  2. It is a spreadsheet that can be as precise as you need it to be. Our big issue is when materials come in, I don't always know whether it has all been received. Some times I'll get down to the end of the grant and find out I had more money than I thought I had. I realize that is not a bad problem, but it makes it look like I am not on top of things.
