Developments Since April Preliminary Budget Draft
Joint Finance Committee Action on K-12 Funding: 2015-16: • Restores $4.1 million in categorical aid in 2015-16 ($150 per pupil) • Confirms zero increase in revenue limit per pupil for 2015-16 • Confirms zero increase in statewide equalization aid pool for 2015-16 2016-17 • Increases categorical aid in 2016-17 by $100 per pupil • Confirms zero increase in revenue limit per pupil for 2016-17 • Confirms est. 2% increase in equalization aid pool for 2016-17 for tax relief only • MMSD faces budget gap in 2016-17 There are several choice, voucher and other K-12 policy issues which may become part of the state budget. We will address these as necessary at a future meeting.
Developments Since April Preliminary Budget Draft
• Health Insurance Negotiations Completed - Achieved a Zero Rate
Increase from the HMO’s
• Behavior Education Policy Adopted - Additional Funding $1.9 million
• Referendum / Debt Service Plan - For Board Consideration Tonight • Board Budget Amendment Tracker - For Board Discussion Tonight
• Additional Public Input - June 22 Input Session
Developments Since April - Implications for MMSD Budget
We developed two budget strategies which represent the range of options available for Board consideration:
Option A – This option uses the Board’s full tax levy authority to generate a temporary $3.2 reserve (Fund Balance) in 2015-16 for use in reducing the budget gap in 2016-17
Option B – This option will reduce the proposed tax levy by $2.2 million in 2015-16, but does not build a reserve to reduce the budget gap in 2016-17
MMSD Budget Strategy Option A
Under Option A, revenues increase by $5.1 million while expenditures increase by $1.9 million to fund the BEP:
The Net Difference ($3.2 million) becomes a Fund Balance
Reserve; use this to reduce the 2016-17 budget gap
Note: Additional spending in 2015-16 will decrease the $3.2 million Fund Balance Reserve and, by increasing shared cost per pupil, cause further loss of equalization aid in 2016-17
MMSD Budget Strategy More About Option A
Increase General Fund Revenues:
o $4.1 million related to categorical aids
o $1.0 million by using full levy authority in 2015-16
o Additional funding for the Behavior Education Plan (BEP) $1.9 million
Generate a Fund Balance increment (reserve) of $3.2 million in 2015-16
Budget Gap in 2016-17 reduced to $4-6 million (by using $3.2 million reserve)
Estimated Tax Rate Increase of 4.9% in 2015-16 (was 4.72% in April Draft)
Estimated Tax Rate Increase of 4.5%-4.85% in 2016-17 (range)
Also: Delay until 2016-17 the $1.3 million tax levy chargeback (Attic Angels)
Rationale for Tax Levy Recommendation
A responsible budget plan - spending increase is 1.3%
State budget for 2015-17 offers little support for K-12
Levy increase includes a two-year strategy
Levy includes voter-approved referendum
There is strong 5% tax base growth to support the levy
The tax levy increase to support current operations is less than 2%. This is a responsible budget that
protects top priorities while planning for next year.
Developments Since April - Implications for MMSD Budget
We developed two budget strategies which represent the range of options available for Board consideration:
Option A – This option uses the Board’s full tax levy authority to generate a temporary $3.2 reserve (Fund Balance) in 2015-16 for use in reducing the budget gap in 2016-17
Option B – This option will reduce the proposed tax levy by $2.2 million in 2015-16, but does not build a reserve to reduce the budget gap in 2016-17
MMSD Budget Strategy Option B
Under Option B, net revenues increase by $1.9 million and expenditures increase by $1.9 million to fund the BEP:
Net Revenues: $4.1 million due to restored aid
- $2.2 million under-levy = $1.9 million Revenues to Fund BEP
Note: No reserve generated to assist in 2016-17 Larger budget gap pending in 2016-17 Like Option A, assume full use of levy authority in 2016-17
MMSD Budget Strategy More About Option B
Lower Year 1 tax levy increase
No reserve created to reduce Year 2 budget gap
2016-17 Budget Gap Estimated $6.0—$8.5 million
Estimated Tax Rate Increase of 3.65% in 2015-16
Estimated Tax Rate Increase of 5.7%-6.0% in 2016-17
Delay until 2016-17 the $1.3 million tax levy chargeback (Attic Angels)
