General Operating Fund Revenue Projection$166 Million based on Current Funding Formulas Fiscal Year 2019-2020 projections are based on an M&O tax rate decrease from $1.06 to $1.04, which reduces local property tax revenue albeit an increase in property values and also decreases State funding. State funding also decreases due to a slight decrease in enrollment and a loss of State Compensatory Education (SCE) counts generated during Hurricane Harvey when all students were coded as “Free & Reduced”.

How Much Money is Distributed to Each Campus? Student Enrollment & Staffing • The number of students projected to enroll in the fall determines the number of teachers and support staff that each school receives. • That is, enrollment translates into staff positions, which translates into salaries and benefits. School Operating Budgets – The money each campus receives for supplies, equipment, and other operating expenses are allocated on a per-pupil basis. Staffing is not paid from campus budget allocations. PEARLAND INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT

General Operating Fund Summary &Estimated Days in Fund BalanceFiscal Year 2019-2020 Projections (in Millions) Fiscal Year 2019-2020 revenue projections are based on current funding law; projected expenditures are held at current fiscal year levels, with no salary increases and without restoring prior year budget cuts. The $10.9 million deficit is due in large part to reverting the M&O tax rate from $1.06 to $1.04, a slight decrease in enrollment coupled with a conservative growth in property values, and a loss of the additional revenue generated through the SCE counts during Hurricane Harvey.

Effect of an Increase to the M&O Tax RateFiscal Year 2019-2020 (Estimated) Notes: • Each cent raised in taxes generates $780,000 in local funds and $1.96 million in State funds (up to $3.92 million in State funds, for a maximum of two additional cents). • Each cent increase beyond an M&O rate of $1.06 generates an additional $72,000 in State funding. • The annual cost of each cent beyond $1.04 for a taxpayer with an average appraised home value of $263,087 is $23.81.
