22. Financial Summary Program $0 Transportation $0 Staffing -$170,560 Facilities $1,100,000 Net Increase $929,440 22

23. Tax Impact of Building Addition The district does not have any money in a capital reserve account 1% increase in taxes generates $35,000 in additional revenue for the district $929,440/$35,000 =26.6% increase in taxes to fund the addition 23

24. Something to Remember! Even if the district decides not to move the elementary school to the middle/high school campus, the 2010 building condition survey identifies the following work to be considered: – Middle/High School-$3,889,264 – Elementary School - $4,469,806 $8,480,838 24

25. Study Recommendation It is recommended that the Morrisville-Eaton Central School District not close the Edward R. Andrews Elementary School and move the elementary grades to the middle/high school campus. It is recommended that the district's facilities committee reconvene to review the building condition survey and provide input to the Board of Education regarding future capital needs. 25

26. “Take Aways” 26 Approximately 93% of school district revenue comes from state aid and local taxes The school district budget has remained relatively constant over the past 5 years The district is receiving less state aid today than it was 5 years ago The district has continued to use more of its fund balance to control taxes in each of the past 5 years

27. “Take Aways” 27 It would cost approximately $1,100,000/year for the next 20 years to move the elementary school to the middle/high school campus After accounting for program savings, the net cost of moving the elementary school would be approximately $929,440/year or an increase in taxes of 26.6% Whether or not the district decides to move the elementary school, there will be facilities improvements to be considered of approximately $8,480,838
