Notes on the Budget By law, Parkview School District uses the Wisconsin Uniform Financial Accounting Requirements (WUFAR) for budgeting The Budget for the Parkview School District is an estimate – The budget presented today may change between now and Nov. 1 st when the final levy is set – Events that could change the final numbers 3 rd Friday pupil count in September Final Equalization Aid numbers from DPI audit The Parkview School District will continue to update information as it becomes available to us 4

Important Dates Financial Audit – July 1, 2012 until the end of the calendar year as the auditors work on their final reports September 17 th – first aid payment from the state (15% of total) September 21 st – 3 rd Friday pupil count October 15 th – General Aid certification from DPI November 1 st – deadline for adopting the “original” budget and setting the levy amount 5

Comparative Cost per Member Comparative Cost per Member is total costs divided by the number of students in the district While revenue sources have either declined or remained stagnate, costs have continued to rise leading to necessary budget cuts 6

Membership Count and Enrollment Membership count is one of the most important numbers for a school district because it will impact your revenue limit and equalization aid Due to Parkview’s declining enrollment, the revenue limit for the district has been decreasing over the last few years In addition, reductions made to the allowable per pupil change have limited the amount of money a district is able to receive 7

Mill Rate Mill rate is a number used to equate the amount of taxes that will be assessed on a property that has a certain evaluation For example, a mill rate of $9.88 would mean that a property evaluated at $100,000 would pay $988 in taxes for the school district It is important to note that the mill rate is an average for multiple municipalities and an individual’s actual mill rate could vary 8

Expenses by Object This pie chart provides a breakdown of Parkview’s expenses for Fund 10 In the past, salaries and benefits typically accounted for about 72% of expenses However, due to benefit changes and staff reductions, that number has been reduced to about 66% 9
