In the implementation stage, funds were utilized in accordance with the approved budget plan while maintaining transparency and accountability, particularly in managing BOS funds and community contributions. In the evaluation stage, the school conducted periodic reviews of budget realization and spending effectiveness. This evaluation was conducted by the school management team in collaboration with the committee to ensure that educational financing contributed to improving educational quality and graduate quality. Overall, the implementation of educational financing management at SMP Negeri Unggul Tunas Nusa supported a more effective and efficient educational process. A well-structured and closely monitored financial management system became a key factor in promoting better educational outcomes and graduate quality at the school.
