HE'S BEEN THERE, DONE THAT
驀然回首，那人卻在燈火闌珊處
Dosdall can cite nitty-gritty facts that echo the above research. "The district's priorities, planning, and budgeting process ... reflect the focus on school-based decision making," he explained. "For example, for 2000-2001, the district has planned an expenditure of $500.4 million. Ninety-two percent of available dollars is planned directly by the schools, with input from staff, students, parents, and the community.
Dosdall 能引用基本的事實來回應上述研究。他解釋著說：學區事務的優先順序、計劃和預算過程…反應出焦點是集中在校本決策上。例如，2000年到2001年，學區已經計劃支出五億四百萬美元的預算額。92%的現金直接由學校做規劃，用在教職員工、學生、家長和社區上。
"Each school receives an allocation of dollars with which to plan numbers of staff as well as the supplies, equipment, and services the staff needs to provide the best possible programs for all students. The allocation is based primarily on the number and categories of the students enrolled in the school. The remaining 8 percent of the district's budget relates to board and central services. This includes 3.5 percent for governance and administration, 3 percent for instruction or instructional support, 0.5 percent for operations and maintenance, 0.5 percent for capital projects, and 0.5 percent for external services."
每一所學校依據教職員工的數量、支給、設備和成員需要提供給所有學生最棒方案等服務，來獲取配額。配額主要依據已經註冊入學的學生數量和科別。剩下的8%學區經費用在委員會和中央公共部門。其中3.5%用在政府和行政部門，3%給了教育或教育協助，0.5%用在設備的運作和維持，0.5%用在資本門，以及0.5%用在對外服務。
Perhaps the high percentage of funds allocated for teachers, learning tools, and services as opposed to "overhead" in the Edmonton Public Schools stems partly from the district's commitment to site-based management.
或許在Edmonton的公立學校中，相對於”經常費用”而言，較高比例的資金分配額都用在教師、教具、和服務上，這有一部分起源於學區對校本管理的承諾。
If the Edmonton Public Schools' experience teaches a lesson about site-based management, it may well be that the approach is time-consuming and not easy to implement but, when done right, well worth the work.
假如Edmonton公立學校群在關於校本管理的經驗上給大家上了一堂課，雖然可能在步驟上會比較耗時且不容易去實踐，但是如果真的照做，就會獲益良多。
