MILTON-UNION SCHOOLS

MILTON-UNION SCHOOLS Financial Forecast Assumptions & Notes FY2014, FY2015, FY2016, FY2017, FY2018 OHIO LEGISLATIVE CHANGES REVENUE New Funding Formula and Budget: The Governor and state legislature passed a new biennium budget for July 2013 through June 2015. The new formula is on a per pupil basis, with $5745 per pupil in FY2014 and $5800 per pupil in FY2015. The state share is now determined by property wealth per pupil and an income factor. Milton-Union will receive 50% of the formula funding. Other notable changes included an expansion of vouchers, and the elimination of 10% and 2.5% rollback on all new and replacement levies. Additionally, all new homestead applications will be means tested. Reductions in State Funding: Even with the new formula, state funding has not recovered from the previous cuts. During FY2010 and FY2011, the state used federal stimulus funding to supplant state funding. Now that the federal stimulus funding has ended, the decreased state funding has not been reinstated. The state also passed legislation reducing the taxation of Public Utility TPP and eliminating Business TPP tax collection and set up reimbursements by the state. Tangible Personal Property collections are now reduced and the state reimbursements have been eliminated. The total funding loss due to state actions is over $1,000,000 per year when compared to what Milton-Union received in FY2008 and FY2009. In response to the decreases in revenue, Milton-Union FTE employment had decreased from 187 in FY2009 to 150 in FY2013. Total Expenditures (excluding transfers and advances) decreased from $12,424,000 in FY2009 to $12,159,000 in FY2013. This reduction is in spite of negotiated raises in FY2010 and FY2011, and health insurance premiums increases over 34.5% since FY2010. GENERAL PROPERTY TAXES (1.010) Real Property: Real Property included private residences, agricultural property and business property. Real Property Tax collections have been relatively flat over the last 3 years. The district has calculated the tax collections based upon estimated valuations and appropriate tax rates by property classification. 2013-14 real property tax estimates are based on Miami County Auditor estimate. Real Property tax collections vary little from year to year. New Millage and Renewals: The 17 mil levy expires at the end of calendar year 2017 and the 10.9 mil levy expires at the end of 2018. New Construction: Historically, each year, new AG/RES construction has been valued at $1,000,000. This was about a 0.75 percent increase. Building permits over the past few years have been minimal; therefore, estimated new construction has been reduced to 0.25%. IND/COM property new construction has averaged 0.30% annual increase over the last 6 years. Triennial Update/Reappraisal: Tax revenue estimates are based upon historical valuation growth patterns, including the effects of scheduled updates and reappraisals. The most recent Reappraisal (TY2013) resulted in a valuation decrease of $6,757,970 or 3.64 percent. All property classifications had decreases in total appraised valuation. However within the Real Property class, Agricultural Real Property valuation increased by 36%, while all real property decreased by 3.11%. Because Milton-Union is above the 20 mil floor, an increase or decrease in property appraised values result in a decrease or increase 1

effective tax rates. This means that as property values decreases, the effective millage increases in order to keep the total property tax collection unchanged. The recent reappraisal resulted in a decrease in total property value and an effective millage increase of.93 for residential/agricultural property and 2.84 mils for commercial/industrial property. Milton-Union total property tax collection is the same when property values increase or decrease because of the change in effective tax rates. These are averages and individual property owners may experience slight differences. The next Reappraisal is at the end of calendar year 2019, and the next update will occur in 2016. Normal property inflation is assumed to resume in TY2015. School Year FY 2005 FY 2012 FY 2013 FY 2014 FY2015 est.

This tax is dual purpose, with 1.15% allocated to the Permanent Improvements and 0.10% allocated to general operating expenses. The Permanent Improvement portion is being used to fund the local portion of an Ohio School Facility Commission building project. The income tax is assumed to grow at 0.5% annually.

The new formula is on a per pupil basis, with $5745 per pupil in FY2014 and $5800 per pupil in FY2015. The state share is now determined by property wealth per pupil and an income factor. Milton-Union will receive 50% of the formula funding. FY2016, FY2017 and FY2018 are assumed to be funded with the same formula, and the same minimum funding guarantee. Funded Enrollment Projections: For FY2014 Formula ADM enrollment actually increased to 1418.72 or 0.76%. FY2015 enrollment is assumed to decline by 2.5% because kindergarten enrollment is below the level enrolled at this point for FY2014 and a relatively large senior class will be graduating (145). Note: students counted for funding include resident students (including Open Enrollment-Out students) and 20% of JVS students. It does not include Open Enrollment-In students or court placed students. Over the last 12 years, enrollment has averaged a decrease of 1.5% per year. FY2016, FY2017 and FY2018 enrollment is assumed to continue to decline. 2

Because of changes in the biennium budget, any new or replacement levy passed in the future will not include the rollback payment from the State. Also, from now on, seniors applying for Homestead exemption will have to meet both the age and income means tests. Public Utility Tangible Property and the General Tangible Personal Property Reimbursements were eliminated in the last biennium state. This is a decrease in funding of $446,595.

Other revenue included interest income, tuition payments for disabled and non-disabled students, open enrollment payments, and rentals. Due to decreased cash balance and lower interest rates earned as investments are called or mature, interest revenue is projected to decrease over the forecast. In 2013-14 Milton-Union is estimated to received approximately $206,000 in tuition payments, and $830,000 in open enrollment payments. The district continues to accept open enrollment students as space permits. This forecast assumes open enrollment to continue at present levels. OTHER FINANCING SOURCES This category includes: OPERATING TRANSFERS-IN (2.040) None anticipated. RETURN OF ADVANCES (2.050) Repayment of loans made to other funds. In both FY2013 and FY2014, we are assuming the repayment of $275,000 loaned to the PI fund for concession stand, locker room and tennis court construction. Also in FY2014, an advance of $23,599.90 will be made for the Reading Literacy Grant. ALL OTHER FINANCING SOURCES (2.060) In FY2014, the following items will be received: BWC Rebate, Sale of Lot on Main Street, and an SERS refund. EXPENDITURES PERSONAL SERVICES (3.010) Step Increases and Education Increases: Step increases are longevity raises due to experience. In addition, teachers may move from one educational level to another as a result of completion of additional college courses and degrees. Milton-Union Schools negotiated a three year (FY2012 through FY2014) agreement with teachers which provided for NO STEP INCREASES but does allow increases for additional education raises. The new contract, negotiations for FY15 through FY17, includes restarting steps and restoring 2 of the 3 frozen steps. Historically, steps have increased cost by 1.7%. Negotiated Increases: Milton-Union Schools has negotiated a three year (FY2014 through FY2017) agreements with teachers. This agreement provides for 1.5% base increase employees compensation annually. Staffing: Staffing remained at the FY2013 level for FY2014.

EMPLOYEES RETIREMENT/INSURANCE BENEFITS (3.020) Retirement: Pension costs are 14% of salaries and this expense increase or decrease in direct proportion with salaries. The School Employee Retirement System (SERS) is moving from collecting retirement payment 6 months in arrears to collecting currently. Districts will pay one sixth of the arrears each year over the next six years, starting in July 2010 and ending June 2016. For Milton-Union that will mean an increase of approximately $24,000 a year. Medicare: Employees hired after April 1, 1986 must pay Medicare. District costs are now approaching 1.45% of salaries. Workers Compensation: Workers compensation is based on salary expenses and the cost of work related injuries. This expense is based on medical costs and lost time cost of injured workers. Milton-Union became penalty rated for 2009 (payment in 2010) and the estimated premium will increase from $38,920 to $86,887. The FY2012 cost was $59,501 for the General Fund and Jobs Fund. FY2013 BWC expense equaled $36,057. The FY2013 payment reflects decreased employment as well as improved experience. In FY2014, we will become penalty rated again and premiums were $43,230.

schools. These costs are determined by the special education IEP or by the state. Anticipated expenditures in this area have been held at their historical levels and trends.
