1 Financial Planning 101: Budgeting Strategies for your Technology Plan Susan Brooks-Young Author/Consultant Hello! My name is Susan Brooks-Young. I spent 23 years working as a teacher and administrator in public and private education. Now I work with educators across the country on various aspects of technology use in schools, including developing or updating technology plans. In this brief presentation, I d like to share lessons I ve learned about effective financial planning through budgeting strategies that you can use when writing or updating your technology plan. 1
2 Planning for Sustaina bility Laying the Groundwork Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Value of Investment (VOI) The best written technology plan won t come to fruition if the funds needed to support it aren t available. Schools and districts can develop sustainable technology budgets by focusing on three areas: Taking time upfront to lay some groundwork in terms on committee membership and spending practices. Planning for the initial and ongoing costs of a networked environment, called Total Cost of Ownership or TCO. A finally, identifying the return you expect to get on your investment related to instructional outcomes, called Value of Investment or VOI. Let s take a closer look at each of these areas. 2
3 The typical technology budget Money by AntiochOG. 12/14/06. Retrieved on 12/20/06 at The typical technology budget relies on a special infusion of funds from sources such as bonds, grants, corporate donations, or E-Rate. The problem with relying totally on these funding strategies is that these funds may be restricted or funds may not be available in subsequent years. 3
4 General financial planning strategies Engage the right stakeholders Consider alternative purchasing strategies Draw on multiple funding sources Technology planning committees often end up being dependent upon year-to-year funding sources simply because no one on the committee is in a position to make the decision to change past spending practices by using different purchasing strategies or reallocating existing funds. Here are a few suggestions for changing this situation. 4
5 Engage the right stakeholders Include decision-makers Scrutinize existing funding sources Use a tool like Google Spreadsheets ( The make-up of the technology committee is critical. It s imperative to engage cabinet-level administrators from the business and educational services divisions. When I work with districts on tech planning, my first step is to review the committee roster to ensure that the group includes people who can make the decision to change things. The technology plan template provided by the CA Dept. of Education includes a review of existing and potential funding sources. Cabinet-level officials are wellconversed with existing funding sources and patterns and also know where it might be possible to reallocate certain funds. By the same token, cabinet members time is scarce, so they may not be able to attend all committee meetings. Use the first meeting to ensure that these officials understand how they can support the committee and then create a Google Spreadsheet to build the budget component of the plan. This free tool allows you to create an online spreadsheet file and invite others to work on the file from any internet connected computer. Even when officials are called away from a meeting, they can continue to be active participants in creating a sustainable budget. 5
6 Consider alternative purchasing strategies Lease equipment Research Open Source software Repurpose old equipment A well-executed lease for hardware can save you time and money because it can include maintenance costs and a provision for rotating out older equipment. Yes, it s an ongoing financial commitment, but it covers costs you will need to pay anyway. If your district does not currently lease technology equipment, it s well worth considering. Open source software is free to all users. Programs such as Firefox (an internet browser), Linux (an operating system), Open Office (suite of applications such as word processing and spreadsheets), and Moodle (a course management system) are being successfully used by educators all over the world. You can save tens of thousands of dollars in licensing fees each year. Another approach is to repurpose old equipment you own outright. For example, a thin client network uses older computers as workstations that connect to powerful servers where all software is actually stored. This enables outdated systems to run newer software applications and handle internet sites that are beyond its capabilities, if it were operating as a stand-alone system. One $3,500 server can handle approximately 20 workstations, a significant savings. 6
7 Draw on multiple funding sources Leverage existing funding Incorporate grants Develop partnerships It s not wise to put all your eggs in one funding basket. Develop a budget that relies on multiple funding sources. Use existing general and categorical funds where possible and supplement those dollars with grants. It may be more profitable to concentrate on winning a few small awards from local or regional service groups, corporations, and foundations than to set your sites on large national programs that are highly competitive. Partnerships with local institutes of higher learning, businesses, and corporations that serve your area can also be profitable. Even though partnerships may not involve cash, in-kind services and equipment donations can be used to free up dollars for other needs. 7

9 What is Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)? Total Cost of Ownership, usually shortened to TCO refers to the cost of purchasing and maintaining a product throughout its lifetime. School administrators often don t realize that they need to think beyond the initial purchase price of technology. What are the hidden and/or ongoing costs of hardware and software, and how does a TCO-savvy administrator anticipate and manage them? 9
10 The elements of TCO Software Maintenance Repairs Increased Utility Costs Support Staff Development Replacement Costs Computer Lab by evanrudemi. 1/11/06. Retrieved on 12/20/06 at As hardware is purchased and installed, the share of the budget devoted to operating categories such as staff training and technical support should increase as well. This slide shows a list of ongoing costs that are the result of every hardware purchase. Some experts estimate that these costs are as much as 50% of the original equipment purchase price! 10
11 Taking TCO to the Classroom Consortium for School Networking, (2006). Taking TCO to the Classroom. Retrieved December 20, 2006, from The Consortium for School Networking (CoSN) hosts a site that offers all the background information you need to share with district and campus leaders. Called Taking TCO to the Classroom, and accessible at the Resources and Publications & Tools areas offer links to articles, white papers, and a PowerPoint slide show that explain the elements of TCO. The URL for this site is provided at the end of this presentation. 11
12 Additional TOC Resources TCO Initial Hidden Costs TCO Ongoing Costs In addition to the resources provided by CoSN, I have developed two worksheets that districts can use to identify both initial and ongoing TCO costs. The URL is provided here and at the end of this presentation and are also listed in Portical s Resource Database. 12
13 What is Value of Investment (VOI)? While TCO looks at all the costs associated with an installed computer environment, Value of Investment (or VOI) looks at the anticipated costs and benefits of technology projects. School administrators who understand the underlying principles of VOI are able to articulate the costs and measurable benefits of instructional technology in their school or district. 13
14 Value of Investment (VOI) Cost savings Qualitative benefits include increases in: Test scores Grades Attendance rate Time on task Homework completion School Kids by hermmermferm. 1/24/06. Retrieved on 12/21/06 at VOI cost savings take into account items such as textbooks vs. e-books or timesaving for staff. It s the qualitative benefits that relate directly to instructional outcomes by identifying indicators that measure how use of technology impacts student performance and achievement of school and district goals. 14
15 Value of Investment (VOI) Consortium for School Networking, (2006). Value of Investment. Retrieved December 20, 2006, from The Consortium for School Networking (CoSN) hosts a site that provides background information on Value of Investment (VOI) issues. This site features assessment tools, case studies, and other information you can use in planning your budget. The URL for this site is provided at the end of this presentation. 15
