    School Budgetary Needs Assessment Survey

    Stakeholders across a school district all need to be on the same page when trying to

    accomplish the districts vision and mission. Stakeholders in any school setting are the teachers,

    school faculty, students, parents, community, and taxpayers in the community. It is crucial that

    any school needs to find and seek data on the climate of the school and how their faculty and

    teachers are meeting the needs of their students. When describing potential challenges or risks of

    conducting a needs assessment, Districts and schools may struggle to effectively engage school

    leadership teams and other stakeholder groups in the needs assessment and improvement

    planning process, often due to timeline constraints and capacity to effectively incorporate

    feedback from diverse groups (Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, 2020). Some of

    the other stakeholders that are as equally important in searching for that data lies within the

    students at the school as well as their parents.

    Developing a relationship with all stakeholders in a school district can do amazing things

    in the improvement of that school. According to the article Engaging Stakeholders in Education,

    parent involvement in the school can take on three forms, parent training, parent support, and

    parent volunteering (McCann & Paine, 2009). These three forms all aim to uphold the districts

    vision and mission in an effort to enhance student learning, needs, and outcomes. Many families

    are so busy that helping at their student’s school is too much of a challenge, due to their job,

    young kids, but when the school clearly communicates that we all have a duty to serving these

    kids, more people start to get involved.

    Students are the entire reason we do what we do in a school setting. No matter what we

    do every decision needs to be made where we keep our students first and the priority in our

    minds. One way a needs assessment can help improve the school is by including the most
    3

    important beings in the school, the students. Student interest and how they learn is changing

    rapidly each year. Whatever educational strategy that worked last year for some students, might

    not work the next. It is so important to include students in a needs assessment survey to help

    make the decisions on what expenditures can be made to help improve their learning in a way

    that is appealing and enticing to them. Funding alone does not provide learning outcomes, but it

    does open the door for that possibility (Barrett, 2018).
