WELCOME TO THE 2009-10 BUDGET HEARING AND ANNUAL MEETING OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT OF SOUTH MILWAUKEE
THE 2009-10 SCHOOL YEAR • Continue work to improve academic achievement through high standards and rigorous curriculum. • $1,123,621 in reductions - the gap between revenues and expenditures. • Estimated levy increase of $394,303 or 2.9%. • Estimated mill rate of $10.49 using an estimated equalized valuation increase of .0033%. The final valuation will be received in October and the mill rate will be finalized at that time.
WHY $1,123,621 IN REDUCTIONS? • (The Gap Between Revenues & Expenditures) • Revenue limits control the total amount of taxes and general state aid a school district can collect. • The 2009-2011 State Biennium Budget has limited the increase to the revenue under the revenue limit to $65,614.
FUTURE BUDGETS • As long as revenue limits are in place and expenses increase at a greater rate than revenues, the district will be facing a budget gap. • We expect to see continued reductions for the 2010-11 school year. • Federal ARRA funds used for State Stabilization are to disappear after the 2010-11 fiscal year. • Continue review of long-term financial and budget planning.
2009-10 REDUCTION SUMMARY • The $1,123,621 gap between revenue and expenditures was addressed as follows: • Reduced staff and restructured departments. • Increased student fees and open enrollment revenue. • Reduced department and site budgets. • Realized savings from retirements and resignations. • Reduced life insurance premiums. • Used 2008-09 FEMA revenue.
State Budget Impact • Governor Doyle signed the 2009-11 State Biennium Budget into law on June 29, 2009. • Budget limits per pupil increase to $200. (Unprecedented) • State uses ARRA State Stabilization Funds to pay 2008-09 obligations to schools. • State decreased general school aid by $147 million. • State removed the QEO law and changed arbitration considerations. Qualified Economic Offer
SUMMARY • Staff and expenditure reductions made primarily due to revenue limits and declining enrollments. • Projected mill rate of $10.49 – final adjustment in October after 3rd Friday enrollment count, final certification of state aid and property valuation. • Rising costs of insurance and utility costs will continue even with controls. • Future state legislation uncertain. • 2010-11 will see another year of reductions.
