4-Step Revenue Cap Review

1. General (Equalization) Aid + local tax levies from the previous year, divided by the 3-year student membership average.

2. Add per-pupil inflationary index to the per member base. (IF applicable)

3. Compute the 3-year membership average.

4. Compute the “maximum allowable revenue” by multiplying the maximum allowable revenue per member by the 3-year membership average.

Local support through school referendums is the only way to stabilize the

MPSD budget

The Community expressed concerns…

1. Recurring The school district referendums on the April 7th ballot are limited to a 3-year timeframe

2. Greater specificity needed What would happen if the referendums don’t pass?

State Biennial Budget Proposal

2015-16: No increase in general aid for stateNo revenue limit per pupil adjustment$150 per pupil cut

2016-17: Increase in general aid $108 million (state-wide)No revenue limit per pupil adjustment$165 per pupil increase

In the MPSD

The $150 per-pupil cut in 2015-16 and the $165 per pupil increase in 2016-17 means the MPSD would lose $788,100 in 2015-16, if the state budget remains as proposed.

Fund Balance: How much?

“Perhaps the best answer would be: ‘an amount sufficient that short term borrowing for cash flow could be avoided and would also allow the district to set aside sufficient assets to realize its longer range goals.’ However, this may not always be practical or politically possible.”
