"The book offers a comprehensive dissection of a school district budget in PA. With his vast experience and keen insight Chris Ursu ensures it's an excellent resource on budgeting for both veteran and new entrants to school business. Makes an interesting guide for other stakeholders in the budgeting process such as the school board and the community as well." --Hamsini Rajgopal, Director of Finance and Business Operations; Chair, Equity Committee, PASBO; Allegheny Valley School District "Navigating the Journey in Budgeting should be a "must have" reference book for every new Public School Business Manager especially those who may not have experience working in a public or nonprofit organization. Mr. Ursu explains clearly and in detail the components that must be considered when creating an annual budget and offers sound recommendations for procuring information for present and future planning. Each chapter is appropriately titled so that information about specific areas of the budget can be easily located. This book would also be of considerable value to school administrators responsible for departmental budgets, since it provides an excellent overview of the school budgeting process.
