We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
FILM AND EDUCATION
rentals and purchases; modification of classrooms to provide for the use of audio-visual materials; distribution facilities; maintenance and repair of equipment and materials; contingency fund; supplies; insurance; preparation of bulletins, catalogs, and forms; and local production, if any. The section on the educational plan should attempt to justify the need for each item in the local program. The section on the expenditure plan should list the cost of each item. In both the educational plan and the expenditure plan, it is desirable to include interpretative explanations, anticipating insofar as possible the questions likely to be raised by school board members. Also, it may be advantageous to include some graphic explanations. For example, a line graph comparing the total expenditures for the school system with expenditures for the audio-visual program may be quite effective in illustrating the justification for a larger audio-visual budget. Similarly, a graph illustrating the unit cost of equipment and materials in terms of their anticipated period of service may be advantageous.
Two items are indicated above as integral parts of the audio-visual budget because of their indispensibility to the audio-visual program: (a) audio-visual equipment, and (b) modification of classrooms to accommodate the audio-visual program. However, in some school systems audio-visual equipment properly should be charged to the budget for general instruction, and it is fairly evident that expenditures for modification of classrooms usually should be charged to the budget for capital outlay. Therefore, local budgetary practices should be studied in order to determine whether audio-visual equipment is charged to the budget for general instruction, and the cost of modification of classrooms to capital outlay, or whether these items should be included in the audio-visual budget. The latter arrangement is suggested only in case no other provisions can be made for these expenditures.
In estimating the budgetary needs for an audio-visual
