From Bursar To School Business Manager: Reengineering Leadership For Resource Management

Business management within schools is no longer about making the books balance; it has gone beyond that for many bursars whose role is to give financial information to guide strategic decisions. From Bursar To School Business Manager is the first text of its kind, offering insights into how other schools are successfully operating their business and teaching support services. It discusses managing resources that indirectly support teaching and learning, the tasks, roles, relationships, and careers of school business management and managers, the practice of school business managers, and the future role and development of school business managers. This invaluable book will be welcomed by all school bursars, senior managers, head teachers, governors, LEA advisers and officers, and students on education leadership and management programmes. From Bursar To School Business Manager expands our understanding of the current and expanding roles and responsibilities of people who oversee school-level resources in support of teaching and learning. This text will influence school leaders' visions of resource management for the future.
