MISSOURI’S FOUNDATION FORMULA & JCPS PRELIMINARY BUDGET
1 st Step in School Budgeting Amend Current Year Budget – Most of the budget repeats 77% of Revenues from Property Taxes, Prop C, and Basic Formula 83% of Expenses in Salary and Benefits Then Determine What Will Be Different Next Year
Amended FY13 Budget Original Budget called for $1,232,000 deficit – 24.8% Fund Balance After 3 amendments, currently $870,000 deficit – 25.7% Fund Balance
Funding Formula-Current State Calculated State Adequacy Target – FY 12 - $6,131 – FY 13 - $6,423 – FY 14 - $6,716 No guidance in law on how to handle underfunding once the formula phase-in period ended. – Formula fully phased in after FY12 General Assembly did not address this last year which left the decision to DESE.
DESE Ruling on Distribution of Formula Keep SAT at $6,131 until Proration is 100% – Calculated SAT $6,423 in FY14 – All districts get equal percentage increases as proration rises After Proration is 100% then SAT can rise. FY12 Proration = 92.5% FY12-Formula is over $450 million underfunded
