An individual department’s budget process
Department Budget Process (Supervisor/Director candidates only). Summarize an individual department’s budget process (e.g., from a department head, or curriculum leader) to include a description of required materials and/or information to be submitted to appropriate parties, such as a central office. What are the major budget categories for this department? Where do resources for the department budget come from? When are department budgets spent? How well has this entity been funded in recent years and what is the future prospect for funding? The Federal budget process is initiated in the Executive Branch with the budget formulation. Then, no later than the first Monday in February, by law, the President submits his budget to Congress. Congress reviews the President’s plan and then adopts a budget resolution, setting forth its own guidelines for spending and revenues that it plans to follow when passing appropriations laws, tax laws, and authorizations
