SUMMARY BY FUND
EXPENDITURES BY OBJECT
Salaries and Benefits (including Transfers) generate approximately 81% of the Total Expenditures (Fund 10).
EQUALIZED VALUEThe District’s property tax base (equalized value)
has increased 7.4% from last year.
In 2016 property values were reassessed. Sauk County increased approximately 3%. Residential growth within the school district was the biggest driving force for this increase.
TAX LEVY (2012-2018)
The 2017-2018 tax levy increased due to new debt in Fund 39 (Referendum Approved Debt) of approximately $1.1M.
All tax levy amounts in other funds remained stable.
MILL RATE (2012-2018)
The 2016 Baraboo High School Revitalization Referendum impacted the 2017-18 mill rate. The impact to the mill rate was projected at 45 cents with the actual increase at 37 cents per thousand.
MILL RATE COMPARISON PAST 3 YEARS (BADGER NORTH CONFERENCE)
The district has had the lowest mill rate in the Badger North Conference for the past three years. Even with the increase in the mill rate for this fiscal year, Baraboo SD still will have one of the lowest mill rates in the Badger North Conference.
EQUALIZATION AID (2012-2018)
Over the past five years, equalization aid (state aid) has slightly increased; however, the equalization aid decreased approximately 0.3% in the 2017-18 fiscal year.
REVENUE SOURCES
Equalization Aid and Tax Levy generate approximately 87% of the Total Revenues (Fund 10).
SUMMARY
Fund 10 -- Revenues: • The Per Pupil Aid increased approximately $600,000 while other Aid decreased
approximately $300,000; thus, netting at an increase from the State of only $300,000.• Open Enrollment (Ins) increasing approximately 25 students help make up the
difference.
Fund 10 -- Expenses:• Salaries and benefits increased approximately 2.50% ($535,000).{Salaries approximately 1.70% and Benefits 0.8%}.
Fund 27:• Special Education continues to increase approximately $85,000. This fund fluctuates
every year.
Fund 50:• Food Service will continue to receive support from the General Fund (Fund 10) to
offset proper allocations of the Food Service Director salaries/benefits to Fund 50. The operating transfer from Fund 10 to Fund 50 will be approximately $100,000. Pricing was reviewed and adjusted by the Board previously to make this balance long term.
OVERALL
• The School District has eliminated some one-time costs and minimized staffing where possible
• The School District has a balanced budget for the 2017-2018 fiscal year
