The role of the principal as financial administrator of schools in Florida

Many times the operation of our public schools is referred to as school business. No doubt it is a business, big business. The amount of money involved indicates that. In Florida, with a relatively liberal educational support system, about one-fifth of all state funds are spent on schools. The schools are more than a business involving dollars and cents. They involve a product of human lives, human lives that the schools endeavor to make more useful citizens for the good of themselves as well as their fellowmen. In the sense that schools do deal with a rather intangible product, the exact value in return for the dollars spent may be impossible to determine. However, there are undoubtedly practices that are for the best interest of the schools that deserve attention from the standpoint of financial management. / Typescript. / "July, 1951." / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science." / Advisor: Eugene S.
