Decentralization gives the school the role of main decision-maker, ensuring the participation and consultation of several factors in the education process: family, local authorities, representatives of civil society, business environment, church, police, health units etc. But one of the most important aspects remains the financial one, an administrative decentralization, unpublished by the financial one, being doomed to failure. Therefore, the focus in this article is on highlighting the aspects related to the financial implications of decentralization within the Gymnasium School No.1 Mileanca, from Botosani County.
