Budgeting

Every college spends lots of money everyday on just about everything. In some ways most of them would like to find new ways to save a buck, for some money may not be the issue and its something they don't have to worry about. But most likely, they would want to hold on to as much money as they can just to be able to add to their budget.

For the colleges that have to deal with snow every year, there may be a good way for them to save money. A way that they can save money is to cancel classes on those snow days when it is too dangerous to be on the road commuting from home to the campus. There are a few things that might help them save money, but there is a chance that this kind of thing wont have any effect on these colleges budgets.

One thing might be is that they wont have to use up as much energy with classes being cancelled rather than them going on. Lights wont have to be turned on because those classrooms wont be in use and there is no need for them to be on. Another thing that may help and most likely may not change is the heating of the classrooms. If they wont be in use then there is no reason for the heat to be turned up to a certain temp to keep the room heated enough for it to be bearable to have class. There is a good chance that this wont affect the budget cost but it is a possibility. These are a couple things that might help out budget costs.

Now a reason that it wont save any money is because of the faculty who get administrative leave. The faculty workers will more than likely get paid just like any other work day if they were to get a snow day. It just depends on how things are handled in that area. There could be many other things that might help out the colleges budget, but this may be some of the more major things that could help.
