v. 1. This study applied the PPBS (Planning-Programming-Budgeting-Systems) cost analysis of Dr. Victor Ordonez in Educational Management-Finance and Control, to the high school program of Notre Dame of Midsayap, North Cotabato for the school year 1976-77. It brought out in exact figures, the cost incurred by the school per year level program for every student. Two steps were undertaken in this analysis. First, the traditional Statement of Income and Expenses was translated into a program budget. Primary and support activity centers were identified. Second. the development of a workload matrix whose coefficients became the basis in allocating and prorating the revenues and expenditures of the school. The study concluded that the PPBS can be applied in Secondary Course program. v. 2. Data and information for the proposed faculty handbook for Mount Carmel School were gathered from former administrators, old and new faculties, students and school personnel whether still employed or retired. School records were examined and analyzed. Also, existing school policies and relevant practices were gathered for inclusion. The study, however, gave more emphasis on the interview method. This proposed Faculty Handbook contained the Philosophy and objectives of Mount Carmel School, organizational relationship and qualifications of various administrative officials, faculty and staff to set a guideline as to the different services offered by the school and how they should be carried out. Vital policies, procedures, rules and regulations contained therein were intended to serve as guides to direct their activities in promoting the welfare of the student body and the attainment of the school's specific commitments. They were also meant to be instruments of unity and charity within the school, and for consistency in decision making. In school year 1977-78, this Proposed Faculty Handbook was presented to the faculty and Administration for discussion and comments and for possible revision of parts. v. 3. This case study trains students to develop keenness and depth in studying behavioral problems of students so as to avoid greater problems or conflicts. In this case, the School Directress Sister Redempta is in a dilemma of whether to dismiss Romeo Ventanilla or let him continue his studies as pleaded by the Superior, Mother Michaela. The long list of misconducts of Romeo had to be given due punishment to bolster the morale of the school. Sister Redempta's firm decision incited Mother Michaela to use her power to plead for the boy's retention. Alternatives presented were : 1. Romeo stays, Sister Redempta leaves. Consequences: a. Romeo, knowing that somebody worked out his retention and aware his family is very influential in school, may totally ruin him in the future. b. undermine the students' welfare in school. c. Sister Redempta's departure may affect her vocation and the school community may be left to unfavorable conclusions for sacrificing the Sister to the boy. 2. Sister Redempta stays, Romeo steps out. Consequences: a. The status of the administrator is maintained. b. The morale of the school is maintained. c. Romeo loses one school year. d. His dismissal may ruin his life. 3. Sister Redempta remains, Romeo ends up his classes. Consequences: a. Both parties remain in their status. b. Both will not feel frustrated. c. Ill feelings of the Ventanilla's towards the school is not aggravated. d. Mother Michaela's wish is half way met. The author's recommendation is to advise Romeo to leave the school unnoticed by the student body but he be promoted so as not to lose one school year.
