Which item is NOT typically included in SDS Monthly Budget?

The thing being tested is understanding what belongs in an SDS monthly budget versus what belongs to evaluation and monitoring. A monthly budget is a financial plan that shows how funds will be spent: which providers are chosen to deliver services, what specific services or supports will be funded, and how expenditures will be documented to track spending and accountability. Evaluation criteria, on the other hand, are the standards used to judge performance or decide which options are acceptable; they guide assessment and decision-making, but they aren’t a line item or financial detail in the budget itself. So the item that isn’t typically included in the SDS Monthly Budget is the evaluation criteria.
