I'm completing the four parts of the assignment in a different order, but that's why a title for the post helps!
Though the two districts in question vary in size drastically, there are some similarities in the DIPs. Each district definitely has a focus on district improvement in regards to instruction. This is evident in AISD's Appendix B (PBMAS) and LISD's list of data types accumulated for a Comprehensive Needs Assessment, as well as inclusion of district goals. Each of these sections lists a goal, performance objective, activity strategy, staff responsible for monitoring, timelines, and evidence of goal success. One difference that stood out in contrast is that LISD did not include any information on related funding of goals. Goal driven budgeting is highly apparent from the AISD DIP in the graphic included on page 2, which shows alignment of the district strategic plan alignment, to the fiscal resources listed near the end of the document in Appendix B. Through comparing these two DIPs, I feel that I have gained a bit of insight into what goal driven budgeting looks like, and how goals and funding are/should be related.
