A MESSAGE FROM THE SCHOOL BOARD

The Burlington-Edison School District Board of Directors would like to thank our community for the continued support of schools.  As your elected officials, we take the responsibility of being good stewards of your tax dollars very seriously. By passing our recent supplemental levy, we are able to make up a 2.4 million dollar shortfall created by the State’s delay in fully funding education.  As a result, the School District's local levy rate in 2018 will be maintained at approximately the same level as the previous year. Your actions allow us to keep providing essential learning experiences and programs to our students.

Moving forward, we will see continued changes in how our schools are funded. School districts are funded through three tax sources: state, local, and federal.  The state will be increasing their tax collection rate in 2019, while also dramatically decreasing our local tax rate from approximately $3.27 to $1.50 per $1,000 of assessed home value. Limitations will also be set on how our local levy funds can be used. We will also likely see changes in our federal funding.  With this in mind, we seek to provide a clear picture of our school funding and plans for future key expenditures.

Our schools are important and we must take care of them as a community investment.  As we carefully plan for the future, we must consider all of the factors and balance the care of our investment with the growing needs of the District.  Again, we are thankful for your continued support over the past several years. As you consider the information that follows, do not hesitate to contact us with questions or comments.

OFFICIAL WINTER NEWSLETTER FEBRUARY 2018

This levy often referred to as the EP&0 Levy (formally M&0), funds basic education items that are not funded by the state and the duration of the levy can be 1 to 4 years.  School districts have needed these local levies to close the gap between lack of state funding and actual school district needs for decades.  

Used for capital purposes including technology and facilities and the duration of the levy can be 2 to 6 years. Capital improvements for school districts are NOT considered "Basic Education" and are not funded by the state.

Bonds are issued to fund the capital expenses of a school district.  Typically to fund a new school and/or a major remodel. Bonds are similar to securing a loan, and use the property tax revenue to make payments over a specified length of time.  A bond requires a 60% voter approval and can have a re-payment plan structured up to 40 years.  

UNDERSTANDING THE OVERALL FINANCIAL PICTURE In Burlington-Edison the state contributes 68%, the federal government provides 6%, and 5% of our revenue is driven by local resources such as donations, grants, fees and fines. The final 21% is generated by our local school levy. A levy requires a simple majority voter approval that is greater than 50% and can be approved up to a four- year term. Levies are acquired from property tax and the levy rate is expressed in terms of dollars per thousand dollars of assessed property value. For example, a home assessed at $200,000 with a voter-approved levy of $2.00 would equal $400 per year in taxes. ($200,000 / $1,000) X 2.00 = $400.

We will meet with high school staff as soon as we have final projected costs. Construction is scheduled to begin in the summer of 2018. It has been a slow process, but we are moving forward. Other projects are also underway that require permits and bids. Over the next two years, some of the elementary schools will be painted.  We have a short window to complete Bay View's parking lot due to a change in state regulations.  The Board has had serious concerns about the traffic speed, lack of sidewalks, no pedestrian light, and backed up cars on Josh Wilson. The school was not designed for the number of students attending or its traffic.
