Letter from the Superintendent

TO THE CITIZENS OF MEQUON-THIENSVILLE

Dear Community Members,

I am pleased to present to you the 2011-2012 annual budget report for the Mequon-Thiensville School District. Inside, you will find specific information about the District’s budget and how we have worked to make the most of taxpayers’ investment in their local schools.

This past spring has been marked with turmoil and discourse as the state legislature debated the 2011-2013 state budget and the Budget Repair Bill. The impact of the state budget cuts will cause a $2,900,000 budget shortfall for the MTSD. Considering this, the District administrative team has recommended that the Board of Education use the tools within the Budget Repair Bill to offset the majority of the upcoming budget shortfall by reducing employee compensation costs in a way that does not diminish the education our students receive.

Using the information enclosed in this document, you can review the impact of our recommendation, which includes imposing a two-year salary freeze for all employees, requiring all employees to pay 50% of their pension contribution and reducing insurance costs to the school district by $440,000. Despite these reductions, the school district still lacks the resources necessary to fund all of the positions that we know to be important to our academic programs. Clearly, we need a community-wide discussion about long-term solutions to our budget situation.

In Mequon-Thiensville, we are committed to offering the highest quality education as cost-effectively as possible. The performance of our students in the past school year demonstrates that despite the difficult financial times we are facing, our teachers and students are producing outstanding results. For example, the class of 2010 had the highest ACT scores in the state of Wisconsin and Milwaukee Magazine ranked the MTSD as the best suburban district in the metro area. Simply put, we have much to be proud of, and you can be assured that your tax dollars are supporting one of the best school districts in the state of Wisconsin.

These are certainly very difficult times. We continue to learn that many of our residents are facing layoffs and longer work hours. Many of our community members have shared with me that they are working harder, in many cases for the same or less pay. On behalf of the employees of the school district, thank you for supporting the District through your hard-earned tax dollars.

Like nearly every other school district in the state, the MTSD must make some budget cuts, but we also understand that reducing employee compensation is not a sustainable method to balance our budget. In the coming year, we invite you to join community conversations about the future vision of Mequon-Thiensville and how we can work together to develop a collaborative strategy that will promote health and vitality for both the school district and the community as a whole.

As always, we welcome your feedback. I encourage you to contact me directly with your comments and questions at (262) 238-8500, by [email protected] or at the District office, 5000 West Mequon Road, Mequon, Wisconsin 53092.

We also welcome your participation in our annual meeting, which will take place this year in the Homestead High School Lecture Hall on July 25 at 7:00 p.m. The meeting will provide an opportunity for community members to learn more about the District’s 2011-12 budget and our efforts to ensure that taxpayers are receiving a good return on their investment.

As we work together to get through these difficult economic times, we must carry on the Mequon-Thiensville tradition of providing outstanding schools as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible.

As always, thank you for your support of our schools. I look forward to seeing you on July 25.

Sincerely,

DEMOND A. MEANS, Ed. D. Superintendent of Schools

The Funding Formula:

Since 1993-94 Wisconsin public school districts operate under legislatively mandated “revenue limits”. A district’s revenue limit is the maximum amount of revenue it may raise through general state aid and property taxes. Each school district’s available revenue was initially based upon the amount of per pupil spending in 1992-93. The limit is adjusted annually (either increased or decreased) based upon on a 3-year rolling enrollment factor and an annual inflationary factor (CPI).

School districts must get voter approval through a referendum to expend any funds which exceed the revenue limit.

As a result of the funding formula, enrollment has a significant impact on the district budget. The Mequon-Thiensville School District has experienced a decrease in enrollment for nine of the past 10 years. Historical, current, and projected resident enrollment data is provided in the chart below:

WHERE the MONEY COMES FROM -

REVENUE SOURCES

State Rules on School Funding:

Wisconsin public school districts derive their revenue through four major sources: 1) state aid; 2) property tax; 3) federal aid; and 4) other local non-property tax revenues (such as fees, interest earnings, and rental income).

The Mequon-Thiensville School District receives very little general state aid primarily due to high property values. Under current law, there is a limit on the annual amount of revenue each school district can raise through the combination of general state aid, computer aid and property taxes.

The Mequon-Thiensville School District general operating expenditures fall into the following five major categories: Salaries; Employee Benefits; Purchased Services; Supplies/Equipment; and Debt/Insurance/Other Miscellaneous.

HOW the FUNDS ARE SPENT - EXPENDITURES


The majority (94%) of our operational

budget is detailed in the following two categories:

Salaries/Benefits:

Eighty percent of our operational budget is allocated for

employees’ salaries and benefits. In addition to teachers,

administrators and support staff, compensation for

substitute teachers, seasonal custodial help, coaches/

advisors for extra curricular activities, curriculum and

staff development and early retirement benefits are also

included in this figure.

Purchased Services:

This includes: 1) services performed by individuals other

than district employees for such things as audit, legal,

pupil transportation, student tuition payments and

speakers/consultants; or 2) property-related services

such as maintenance projects, utilities, communications,

publications, and fuel for buses.

The Mequon-Thiensville School District revenue comes

from the following main sources:

Other Sources 0.1%

Property Taxes 84%

State / Federal Aid 13%

Other Local Sources 2.9%

Debt/Insurance/Other Misc. 1.8%

BUDGET and TAX LEVY HIGHLIGHTS

The 2011-12 Budget proposes a total tax levy in the amount of $37,961,370, a decrease of $2,374,324 or -5.89% from the 2010-11 levy. This is the maximum levy allowed by law assuming general aid and student enrollment estimates which will be updated in October.

Preliminary information indicates the equalized value of the property in the

school district will decrease by 3%. Assuming a 3% decrease in property value and total levy in the amount of $37,961,370, the estimated tax levy rate for 2011-12 will be $8.73 per $1000 of equalized property value or a decrease of $0.26 from the previous year.

Outstanding indebtedness as of July 1, 2011 is $7,300,00 in short-term notes

which will be repaid by September 2, 2011 and $18,855,000 in general obligation bonds that will be repaid through 2020.

The 2011-2013 State Budget for K-12 public education reduces funding for school districts significantly. Changes in the revenue limit formula increase the Mequon-Thiensville School District’s proposed 2011-12 budget deficit to an estimated $2.9 million instead of the $1.1 million deficit anticipated before the state-wide changes.

Wisconsin Act 10 (known as the Budget Repair Bill) provides “tools” mandating reductions in employee compensation that allow districts to make up for their lost state funding. Implementing the tools provided in the Budget Repair Bill, plus other belt-tightening measures, allow the District to balance its 2011-12 Proposed Budget without impacting instructional programs significantly.

As in most school districts, the MTSD currently pays the employee’s contribution towards the WRS. Act 10 requires employees to pay one-half of their pension contribution. Mandating employee contributions to the WRS will save the District an estimated $1.4 million for 2011-12.

Changes in collective bargaining laws potentially save the District additional dollars as districts will be prohibited from bargaining with unions on all matters except base wages. The new law links any increase in base wages to the increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI); increases in wages may not

exceed this level unless approved by a public referendum. In addition, all other items currently included in the collective bargaining agreement become subjects legally prohibited from bargaining. In application, this change means that when the current collective bargaining agreement expires on June 30, 2011, the District may modify unilaterally the health insurance it offers to employees. These modifications could include changing health care providers, changing the plan design, and/or increasing employees’ premium contributions. Furthermore, the District may reevaluate other employment practices, such as the provisions governing paid and unpaid leave, contract days, professional development and methods of compensating staff.

Items in the MTSD 2011-12 Proposed Budget that reflect this state legislation (and the resulting savings) include: mandatory employee 50% contributions to their WRS pensions ($1.4 million) and health insurance modifications ($440,000).

IMPACT of STATE LEGISLATION on the MEQUON-THIENSVILLE

SCHOOL DISTRICT’S 2011-12 PROPOSED BUDGET



As a result of the District’s sound financial practices, Moody’s, the bond rating agency, has upgraded the Mequon-Thiensville School District to its highest rating possible, Aaa. This rating is based, in part, on the general good health of the district’s finances. The Mequon-Thiensville School District is one of only six districts in Wisconsin to receive the Aaa rating.

DISTRICT UPGRADED to HIGHEST

POSSIBLE BOND RATING


Why does the School District face an annual budget shortfall?

A shortfall or budget deficit exists when expenses exceed revenue. To eliminate a deficit, the District must increase revenue or reduce expenditures.

The largest source of revenue for the MTSD is the local property tax (84%). State law enacted in 1994 places a cap, or limit, on the amount a school district can collect from local property taxes. This limit is directly related to student enrollment. Since the MTSD has experienced declining enrollment for 9 of the past 10 years, the District has less tax levy authority and ultimately receives less revenue available to support budget needs.

Public school districts are a labor-intensive business. The largest expenditure is employee

compensation. Increases in employee compensation, while extremely competitive with our comparables, have exceeded the growth in Mequon-Thiensville’s available revenue, causing budget shortfalls or deficits. Until recently, school boards were required to offer teachers a minimum 3.8% annual increase in total compensation (salary and benefits) over the previous year or face going to mediation/arbitration, where the comparables applied were much higher and there was a risk of higher settlements.

Does the School District have the right to increase the tax levy beyond the State-imposed revenue limit?

No. Districts may only exceed the revenue limit if voters approve the increase in a referendum.

Does recent legislation help the School District’s budget situation? What is the impact of the State Budget on the Mequon-Thiensville School District’s 2011-12 Budget?

Yes – potentially, on a short-term basis. Please see page 10 of this document for further information.

If enrollment declines, wouldn’t costs decrease as well?

Yes – but not proportionately. For 2011-12, the District’s taxing authority (revenue) will go down by $10,437 for each full-time resident student we lose over a three-year period, but certain costs are not reduced in proportion to student headcount. For example, a classroom for 22 students has the same fixed costs to function as a classroom for 25 students, but

FREQUENTLY ASKED BUDGET QUESTIONS (FAQS)

The development of a school budget is a complex and challenging process, given limited funding and legislative mandates. The following questions were developed to help readers gain a better understanding of the issues affecting public school finance.



having 3 fewer students in that classroom would result in the District losing $31,311 in revenue over a three-year period. Similarly, there is no cost savings to operate a bus transporting 70 students versus 76 students, but since the revenue available to the District is calculated on a per-student basis, there would be less revenue available to meet the costs for bussing those 70 students.

Can the School District increase student fees to cover the annual deficit?

No. The Wisconsin Constitution limits a school district’s authority to assess fees except under limited circumstances, providing that public schools “shall be free and without charge for tuition to all children between the ages of 4 and 20 years”. Courts have ruled that schools may

charge fees for books and items of a similar nature, except in cases of indigence, and for social and extra-curricular activities because they are not “necessary elements of a high school career”. Schools may not charge for instructional time, such as teacher salaries, apparatus, building costs or maintenance. Any course that is credited for graduation, even if it is not required for graduation, must be provided without charge.

Could the School District use fund reserves to balance the budget?

That would be unwise. School District fund reserves are maintained for cash flow purposes (to minimize the expense of short-term borrowing) and to provide for unplanned expenditures. Using fund reserves to balance budgets is

a “borrowing” technique that does not address the financial situation. Operating budgets include recurring costs that must be funded annually from a recurring source of revenue. Declining fund reserves would have a negative impact on the District’s long-term financial position, resulting in lower credit ratings that increase the cost of borrowing.
