OCS Finance & Operations

School and community-based organization (CBO) resources – both financial and human capital – should be aligned so that robust programming, classes, activities, and support are strategically delivered to increase opportunities for students so that all students achieve and thrive.

OCS co-invests resources in schools and CBOs. Thus, it is important that both parties are at the table working together to allocate resources. Budgets and resource allocations should align with Comprehensive Education Plans (CEPs) that are developed with school leadership teams and reflect parent, teacher, and student voice.

The goal of the OCS manuals and templates is to provide clarity for the budget and fiscal processes and guidelines to support collaborative planning.
