Back in the early 1980’s the Arizona Legislature refined its school finance system to provide equal dollars per pupil for school operations through a balancing of the local qualifying property tax rate and State of Arizona financial assistance. This concept, commonly referred to as the “equalization formula,” allowed public school districts throughout the State of Arizona to experience similar “effort” in raising educational dollars for their students irrespective of the value of property within their boundaries.

Today it is responsible to set up spending limits for:

– Rules Established by the Arizona Legislature– Title 15 Refers to Education– Sections 15-901 to 15-1241 Refer to School Finance

UNIFORM SYSTEM OF FINANCIAL RECORDS(USFR)

The legislature has required that the Arizona Department of Education and the State’s Auditor General interpret Title 15 and design the State’s Uniform System of Financial Records (USFR) which is used in maintaining local school district financial records and preparing reports.

BUDGETARY DOCUMENTSBUDGETARY DOCUMENTS“Knowing the Names And Their Purposes”“Knowing the Names And Their Purposes”

In the State of Arizona, there are a number of forms which provide some uniformity in the manner that financial information is presented. Anyone can fill them out with reasonable accuracy, but few can understand and interpret their content.

The Documents Are As Follows:

EXPENDITURE BUDGET (Proposed & Adopted(Adopted by July 15th of the fiscal year)

REVENUE BUDGET(Completed by September 15th of the budget year.)

REVISED EXPENDITURE BUDGET (Completed by December 15th and/or May 15th)

GBLGBL

The General Budget Limit results from a number of simplistic formulas heavily dependent upon the number of students or Average Daily Membership, (ADM) the district has over the cumulative effect of the prior school years’ first 100 days. The typical General Budget Limit is made up from the following formulas:

This student count takes into account the size of size of the districtthe district, whether the students are in elementary or high school, the isolation of small rural school districts in the state, and special needs children.

BLABLA

The Base Level Amount represents the amount of money, per weighted student count (Group A and B combined), that the legislature annually decides it will provide to public school districts. For budget year 2004-2005 the base level is $2,893.18 and $2,929.34 with Teacher Compensation. Career Ladder percentage is then added to this amount should a district participate.

OTHER BASE SUPPORT FACTORSOTHER BASE SUPPORT FACTORS

Teacher Experience Index Teacher Experience Index (T.E.I.)(T.E.I.)This factor is derived from the formula specified in A.R.S. §15-941. Its purpose is to allow extra budget capacity for school districts with teachers whose average years of experience exceed the State of Arizona average. Districts which qualify are allowed to increase the support level by 2.25 percent for each year of experience above the State of Arizona average.

Audit CostsAudit Costs Districts required to conduct a single audit may increase the level by the cost of the last audit.

Career Ladder and Performance IncentivesCareer Ladder and Performance IncentivesA District may also increase its Base Level Amount by up to an additional 5.5% if it participates in a pay for performance program entitled, “Career Ladder”.

If the unweighted counts for the budget year (next) are at least 5% greater than the current year, the CORL is increased by the same growth percentage. If under 5%, no adjustment is used.

High School Texts- ARS requires that text books for high school students must be free. The district is allowed to budget 69.61 more for each unweighted high school student.

CORL Shift-Students FIRST allowed for a complete shift of CORL funds to M&O on an annual basis. CORL that remains in capital outlay fund (610) remains unrestricted.

REVENUE SOURCESREVENUE SOURCESEQUALIZATIONEQUALIZATION

State Equalization-State General Fund revenues used to support P-12 Education.County Equalization-A countywide tax rate (varies each year) applied to offset the State Equalization.

What is it? A.R.S. §15-971 The equalization formula is the Legislature's attempt to ensure that each district has equitable budget capacity compared to others in the state. Equalization Assistance helps to ensure that the revenues available for district budgets are shared equitable. Equalization Assistance is the amount of money which the state and county provide to school districts over and above a uniform tax rate which is called the qualifying tax rate.

What is it? Local Property Taxes-

Property tax on real and personal property within the district provides the revenue for M&O, Unrestricted Capital and Soft Capital that the equalization formula does not cover.

It also provides 100% of the funding for overrides, debt service, adjacent ways,

and outside the budget limit costs.

Once The Expenditures Have Once The Expenditures Have Been DeterminedBeen Determined

After a governing board has determined the amount to be budgeted as part of the general operating fund within the limits described in this report, the parameters of spending for a fiscal year are established as the M & O Budget - Fund 001. This overall fund is further divided into specific programs. The three main programs are:

Regular Education,

Special Education, and

Pupil Transportation.

For reporting and accounting purposes, each of the subsections is further subdivided by function (instruction, support services, operation of non-instructional services, facilities acquisition and construction services, debt services and other financing uses)

The total budget for the M & O Fund cannot exceed the budgetary formulas previously specified except for certain items outside the limit, and the expenditures cannot exceed the budgets established. As mentioned previously, even if a district does not have sufficient cash balance in the M & O and other levy funds, it may still spend up to the budget limit by registering warrants. It is the budget limit, or capacity, that determines expenditure capability rather than cash availability.
