2011-12 Budget AssumptionsApproved on March 23, 2011

WHY REDUCTIONS OF $2,612,435?Revenue limits control the total amount of taxes and general state aid a school district can collect.

2011-13 State Biennium Budget decreased per pupil spending under the revenue limit by 5.5% or $552.76 per pupil.2011-12 Revenue limit decrease of $1,930,585.

Decreases in revenues are greater than decreases in expenditures which result in reductions.

2011-12 REDUCTION SUMMARYThe $2,612,435 gap between revenue and expenditures was addressed as follows:

Employees are contributing 50% of pension contributions.Employees are contributing 12.6% of the premium for health and dental insurance.

Staff salaries are frozen.Increased student fees.

Reduced school site budgets.Eliminated staff positions.

Retirement savings.

FUTURE BUDGETSRevenue limits will continue to minimize or decrease the

ability to generate revenue.New State legislation has allowed for flexibility in

employee compensation.Next year’s decision must balance compensation,

reducing positions and generating additional revenue.Expect to see continued reductions for the 2012-13

school year.Continue review of long-term financial and budget

planning.

SUMMARY

District expenditures are increasing by 4%

District tax levies are increasing by 5%.

Projected mill rate of $10.92 – final adjustment in October after 3rd Friday in September enrollment count, final certification of state aid and property valuation.

Staff and expenditure reductions made primarily due to revenue limit constraints and anticipated compensation agreements.

Rising costs of employee compensation will continue.

Future state legislation on school funding is uncertain.

Increases in expenditures and revenues need to be brought into balance.

Rest assured our buildings will be open the first day of school to provide a safe and rigorous academic environment to all of our students.
