How far under EPS Will We be based on the proposed

budget?

History of Being Under EPS

Minimum Mill Rate Projection

The Largest School Systems in FY 2012-2013

Regional Comparison of Over/Under EPS - FY 2013

Per Pupil Spending 2012

MSAD #17 ranks 202 out of 220 school systems in per pupil spending.

92% of school systems in the state spend more per pupil.

Of the 25 largest school systems in the state, MSAD #17 ranks 24th in per pupil spending.

District’s enrollment has remained flat while statewide enrollments are declining.

Regional Comparison ofPer Pupil Spending

If MSAD #17 spent the state average amount per student, the budget would be $5,844,300 higher.

State Valuation Analysis

Key Considerations

How we got here ? Three years of flat assessments, while district property

valuations increased.

How do we fix it? District submitted and testified on behalf of LD 367 We are planning for a “ramp up” to the required

minimum share What happens if we don’t fix it?

Potential loss of state funding that would be redistributed to other school districts.
