How do I develop a budget?
How do I develop a budget?: Step 1: Background Information
The first step in developing your budget is to make sure you know which Fiscal staff support your budget and to know your role and their roles.
The Fiscal support staff will:- Provide you with salary and benefit information- Enter your budget into the system- Make changes you request- Work with you to create a balanced budget
The Fiscal support staff will NOT:- Make decisions about your budget- Complete forms for you- Take responsibility for your budgetThe Program Manager is ultimately responsible
for the development and administration of each budget.
There is a complete Budget Operating Procedure on the BCOE Website under “Administrative Services”; select “Procedures” then select “Budget”

The next step is to understand the budget cycle:
First, this is how your Fiscal Representatives envision the budget cycle.

The budget cycle is an 18-month process for each budget and goes as follows:
January – Governor proposes budgetFebruary – Fiscal staff prepares revenue estimatesMarch - Program Managers determine staffing
levelsApril – Original Budget Preparation CompleteMay – Governor proposes May revised budgetJune – Original Budget Adopted & State Adopts

How do I develop a budget?: Step 2: PB
The next step is to review your position budget (PB)
- The PB is a list of salary and benefit costs generated by Fiscal Services from the payroll system BusinessPlus (aka IFAS)
- To change your PB, simply tell your Fiscal representatives what, specifically, you want changed and they will change it for you and notify you when the change is complete

How do I develop a budget?: Step 3: BID
Once your PB is finished, it will be rolled into Budget Item Detail (BID). BID is a budget development tool that holds your PB information as well as any other budget information you will need. BID also features:
- the ability to put in notes on each entry
- multiple entries for single Org Key-Object Code combinations; this allows for the budgeting of individual revenues and expenses, not just the net amount

Like PB, to change your BID, simply tell your Fiscal representatives what, specifically, you want changed and they will change it for you and notify you when the change is complete
See your BID handout to see a completed BID budget

Revenues are the funds BCOE receives to operate specific programs. They are in the 8000 series of Object codes. Revenues can be from:
- Federal Government- State Government- Public and Private Agencies- Other Local Education Agencies (LEAs)- Donations
How do I develop a budget?: Step 5: Expenses
Expense are in the 1000-7000 series of Object codes.
How do I develop a budget?: Step 6: Indirect Costs
Indirect Costs is a method of collecting funds to pay for organizational overhead. This includes Fiscal, Human Resources, Payroll and Technology staff, the Superintendent, Internet service, and other organization-wide costs.
Your Fiscal Services representatives will calculate and charge your indirect costs for you.
The indirect cost rate for 2012-13 is 6.06%.
How do I develop a budget?: Step 6: Indirect Costs
Indirect Costs are a lot like California Sales Tax.- Like sales tax, indirect costs are based on
expenses, uses a set % rate, and some expenses are excluded from indirect costs
- Unlike sales tax, the indirect cost rate changes annually and some programs have static, permenant indirect cost rates.
- On the BCOE website, there is an indirect cost calculator under Administrative Services/Forms Index/BSF 111: Indirect Cost Calculator
