Established in 1972- general purpose money for each student ◦ Varies from District to District Revenue limit income is a combination of local property taxes and state money. ◦ Any increase in property taxes is offset by a reduction of state funds Different limits are set for District Configuration ◦ Unified Districts receive an average Federal and State Categorical funds plus local miscellaneous income, and lottery revenues are added to revenue limit income to make up a district's total revenues.

10. Enrollment Patterns and Impact

11. Enrollment/Attendance and Funding Decline in enrollment impacts funding Funding is based on Average Daily Attendance (ADA)- higher % of total enrollment the higher the funding

13. Why is declining enrollment a problem? Revenue decreases more than direct expenses, for example:  If enrollment dropped 30 students, the District’s base revenue will drop: 30 students x $5,500 = $165,000 We would reduce only one full-time teacher- estimate $70,000 Loss of $95,000 Revenue decreases more than direct expenses, for example:  If enrollment dropped 30 students, the District’s base revenue will drop: 30 students x $5,500 = $165,000 We would reduce only one full-time teacher- estimate $70,000 Loss of $95,000
