By E. Bowers HOLLYWOOD — On June 28, amidst a flurry of cuts and a switch to zero-based budgeting, the Tribal Council voted to approve the budget for the 2000-2001 fiscal year, estimated at $203 million, which includes an increase in per capita distribution. With many of the Tribal Program Directors in attendance, Chairman James Billie stated matter-of-factly that “everyone is overpaid.” He remarked despite the enor- mous boost in revenues due to gaming in recent years, some Directors approached the fiscal process as in the past, when the Tribal budget was subsidized by federal money. When approaching the end of the fiscal year “many people have the idea that you have to blow that money,” said Billie. Upon announcing the switch to zero-based budg- eting, in which the Directors start from zero and justify all expenditures that follow, Billie warned of freezes and, in some cases, elimination of such costs as sponsorship of events, pay raises, employee travel, per diem, advertising, and equipment purchases. The Tribal member loan and assistance programs will also be scrutinized. Estimating the amount of assis- tance given to Tribal members in the past year at $9 mil- lion, Billie observed “the needy ones never come to the Tribe, it’s the greediest ones that come and ask for assis- tance.” The $50,000 cap on loans may also become a thing of the past.

The context in which teaching and learning takes place influences the processes and procedures by which the school makes decisions around curriculum, instruction, and assessment. The context also impacts the way a school stays faithful to its vision. Many factors contribute to the overall narrative such as an identification of stakeholders, a description of stakeholder engagement, the trends and issues affecting the school, and the kinds of programs and services that a school implements to support student learning. The purpose of the Executive Summary (ES) is to provide a school with an opportunity to describe in narrative form the strengths and challenges it encounters. By doing so, the public and members of the school community will have a more complete picture of how the school perceives itself and the process of self-reflection for continuous improvement. This summary is structured for the school to reflect on how it provides teaching and learning on a day to day basis. Page 1© 2017 Advance Education, Inc.
