Why is a fund balance necessary? 1. To pay operating expenses during the first half of the year before the majority of ad valorem taxes are collected. 2. To meet any unanticipated expenses. 3. To help fund future budgets if planned expenditures exceed anticipated revenues (e.g. funding cliff when one-time revenue sources are not replaced or operating expenses are anticipated to increase for reasons such as a new school opening). 8.7%

4 Funding Sources/Uses Fund Primary Revenue Sources Primary Allowable Uses General Fund Local & county taxes, state aid, dedicated state revenue, federal program reimb, other reimb Payroll, transportation expense, supplies, materials, furniture, equipment, textbooks, general operating expenses Building Fund Local & county taxes Repair & maintenance of facilities, furniture, equipment, utilities, custodial Child Nutrition Fund Student & staff lunch purchases, state & federal reimbursements Food, payroll, supplies & equipment Bond Funds Sale of bonds after voter approval Construction projects, furniture, equip., uniforms, textbooks, school buses, etc. Activity Funds Sinking Fund Student activities, fundraisers, vending commissions, donations Local taxes after voter approval of bonds Student activities, supplies, materials, equipment, refreshments Bond principal and interest payments Gift Fund Restricted grants from private sources As specified in grant Sanctioned Parent Groups (not District money) Fundraisers, donations, dues Support of student and school activities (wider latitude than activity fund)

12 Sources of Revenue General Fund* State Aid Formula funding based on number of students State Aid 40% *Statewide All Districts General Fund

13 State Aid Funding Formula Legislative Intent Recognize that cost of providing education varies with students and districts Based on student membership and characteristics Attempt to equalize revenue among districts through chargeables Perfect equalization would produce same revenue per weighted student in every district

14 State Aid Calculation: Weighted Average Daily Membership (WADM) ADM (child count for days enrolled) Pupil Grade Level Weight Pupil Category Weight (special ed, gifted, free/reduced) District Calculation (for small or isolated districts) Teacher Index (for districts whose avg teacher is > the state average-based on college degree and years of experience) x State Aid Factor $3, (factor as of Jan 2015) + Transportation Supplement (Average Daily Haul x $33.00 per capita x $1.39 factor) Less - Chargeables Local Ad Valorem County 4-mill (75%) Gross production tax Motor vehicle tax School land earnings Rural electric cooperative tax

15 STATE AID FORMULA AMOUNT PER WEIGHTED STUDENT $3, $3, $3, $2, $2, $2, $2, $2, $2, $2, $2, $2, $2, $3, $3, $3, $3, $3, $3, $3, $3, $2, $1, FY02 FY03 FY04 FY05 FY06 FY07 FY08 FY09 FY10 FY11 FY12 FY13 FY14 FY15 02/02/15

16 State Aid Formula Then vs. Now July 2009 All formula dollars committed to common education = $3, per weighted student. Jan 2015 All formula dollars committed to common education = $3, per weighted student. Difference in Funding For FY , schools have $ less per weighted student than was allocated at the beginning of school year FY For NPS, $ less per weighted student = FY15 ($5,380,208)!

17 Recession and Recovery: Impact on Education Funding The recession of 2008 greatly impacted state revenues and jeopardized public education. The federal government responded in by providing one-time supplemental funding for Title I (disadvantaged) and IDEA (special ed) programs. Further federal assistance was afforded to states in the form of fiscal stabilization and education jobs funding to retain jobs and fill the hole in funding. Once exhausted, one-time federal stimulus money was not replaced by state funding, creating a funding cliff in

19 State Aid (millions) Statewide Enrollemnt $2,100 Enrollment and State Aid Funding ,000 $2,050 $2, , , ,000 $2,000 $1, , ,000 $1,950 $1,900 $1, , , ,542 $1, ,615 $1, ,150 $1,816 $1,816 $1,838 $1, , , , ,000 $1, ,000 $1, ,000 $1,700 FY08 FY09 FY10 FY11 FY12 FY13 FY14 FY15 * State Aid includes Education Stabilization component of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funding.

Production tax rates were scheduled to return to 7% but will now be 2% for the first 3 years of the well, then increase to 7%

21 District Revenue Limitations Any growth in local taxes is deducted from state aid. Any growth in dedicated state revenue (e.g. motor vehicle collections, gross production tax, school land earnings) is deducted from state aid. Federal programs are being CUT due to sequestration. Grants and donations are usually specific in purpose and are not intended for operating expenses. Money from other funds (e.g. Building Fund, Child Nutrition Fund, Bond Funds) is restricted in the ways it can be spent.

22 Expenditures Budget dollars must be reserved or encumbered prior to purchase. Legal budget is determined by projected local tax collections plus revenue to be received from state, federal, and other sources plus the beginning fund balance.
