can help in making a annual budget in guidance service

1. THE GUIDANCE BUDGET

2. The guidance budget is crucial to the implementation of all Guidance Programs. One cannot have a well-delivered Program without sufficient funds for salaries, activities and materials. If the help that Guidance offers is seen in the context of “Healthy Affect = Healthy Mind = Healthy Body = Maximum Productivity and Effectiveness”, financial resources may be provided more willingly by the administration.

3. Sources of Revenue The School Guidance Program derives its revenues primarily through Guidance and Testing fees. Guidance Fees - Most schools charge a Guidance Fee as part of the special fees of the students. Application Fees Application fees from prospective enrollees are sources of funds also. Testing Fees - When employing the services of testing centers like the Center for Educational Measurement and the Asian Psychological Services and Assessment Corporation, schools charge their students a separate testing fee or draw from the Guidance Fee.

4. Expenses The expenditure of the Guidance Office depend on how well the institution wants to run the Program. A comprehensive Guidance Program is expensive. What do Guidance Programs need financial resources for? Operational Expenses Capital Expenditures Utilities

7. Utilities T hese are contributions to be made to the school’s indirect expenses. Electricity and water Janitorial services

8. Since it is the Guidance Director who knows what is needed, it is important that he/she knows how much money is allocated for Guidance Program operations. In this way, he/she can apportion the money in coordination with the Guidance Staff. Priorities should be set. Should the funds be too meager even for the essentials, the Guidance Director should make representations to the management or administration for a bigger budget. The rationale for the request must be convincingly, and must be accompanied by evidence of Guidance Program usefulness.
