2014-2015 BUDGET HEARING OVERVIEW
• The procedures which common, union high, and unified school districts should
follow in formulating a budget, holding a public hearing, and adopting a
budget are set forth in s. 65.90, Wis. Stats. The steps involved in these required
procedures are summarized as follows.
•
•
•
•
The staff and school board create a proposed budget that identifies expected revenues,
expenditures, and fund balances for the budgeted year in addition to the two fiscal years
preceding the budgeted fiscal year. Budget detail is based upon the Wisconsin Uniform Financial
Reporting Requirements (WUFAR) hierarchy of accounts.
A class 1 notice (one publication) is published which contains a summary of the proposed budget
described above, notice of where the detailed budget may be examined, and notice of the time
and place of the public hearing. Common and union high school districts must hold the budget
hearing at the time and place of the annual meeting.
The public hearing is held, at which time, residents of the district have an opportunity to comment
on the proposed budget.
The school board shall adopt an original budget at a school board meeting scheduled after the
public hearing and no later than the meeting in which the school board sets the annual tax levy
amount.
• For KASD the official 2014-2015 budget hearing and subsequent tax levy will
be set at the October 27, 2014, Board of Education meeting.
2014-2015 REVENUE LIMIT
• Finalized Values
• DPI finalized the 2014-2015 public school revenue limit amounts
on October 15, 2014
• KASD benchmarks
• General state aid for 2014-2015 is $26,160,966, up from $25,328,795 in
2013-2014 ($832,171 increase or 3.2%)
• Equalized property valuations are set at $1,884,371,513 which is up 2.5%
over the previous amount used for the 2013-2014 levy
• Student count decreased by 10 students in summer school but increased
57 on the third Friday count. This created an increase in the three year
rolling average for pupils of 63 (4,315 to 4,378)
• KASD has an $896,334 tax levy carryover that can be used at any time
due to a prior year under-levy
• KASD is allowed a $51,163 revenue limit increase due to prior year open
enrollment students not counted on the Third Friday report due to the
time of transfer
• Recurring exemption will reduce the tax levy carryover amount from
$896,334 to $845,171

KASD TAX LEVY AND MILL RATE
HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE
KASD Mill Rate History
Kaukauna Area School District Tax Levy History
FUND 38 – NON-REFERENDUM
APPROVED DEBT SERVICE
• Fund 38 Debt Service
• Non-referendum debt service is generated by Board of Education
action and accounted for in Fund 38
• Fund 38 debt service payments are part of the District’s revenue limit
calculation and directly affect the operating budget
• Any reduction in Fund 38 debt service will immediately impact the funds
available to spend on general operations
• A historical and futuristic perspective of Fund 38 debt service is
shown below
FUND 38 – DEBT SERVICE BUDGET
• Fund 38 Budget
• Expenditures
• 2014-2015 expenditures in Fund 38, will be $529,768
• Payment is a combination of the three debt service issues
• Payment is set by the debt service schedules for each issue
• 2014-2015 revenues for Fund 38, which cover payments made in
March, 2014, as well as September, 2014, will be $482,985
• A carry-over of $140,925.75 will be on the books as of June 30, 2015.
Those dollars will be used to make the debt payment in September,
2015
FUND 38 – DEBT SERVICE BUDGET
• Kaukauna High School Facility Project
• Debt service
• Should the Board of Education choose to move forward with any
part or all of the proposed Kaukauna High School redesign project
the debt service payments will be made out of Fund 38
• All debt incurred by the project would be under the revenue limit
and not add any additional dollars to the tax levy
• Same can be said for the Honeywell ESG energy project, borrowing to
pay off the Wisconsin Retirement System debt, and the zero interest loan
secured to pay for the Haen School windows
• All principal and interest payments under Fund 38 have no direct
effect on the tax levy – the only way the tax levy will be
decreased should the project not be done would be to under
levy and hold the potential under levy amount in abeyance for a
future over levy and use of funds at that time
FUND 39 – REFERENDUM APPROVED
DEBT SERVICE
• Kaukauna High School Debt Service
• Total debt service outstanding (principal plus interest) on
Kaukauna High School, which is the only referendum approved
debt on the books for the District, is $7,885,700
• Principal only debt service is $7,315,000
• The final debt service payment will take place in March, 2017
• The final year in which the referendum approved debt service will have
an impact on the tax levy is 2016-2017
• $1.6 million of the energy efficiency project borrowing will be due during
the 2017-2018 fiscal year. This figure, combined with the retirement of
KHS debt, will produce a $1.0 million tax levy savings in 2017-2018 or a
drop of $0.60 per $1,000 of value on the mill rate
• Without major change and debt retirement KASD will see a drop in its
mill rate from $9.13 per $1,000 value to $8.10 per $1,000 value in the
next five years
• A property paying $1,826 in school tax presently ($200,000 value) would then
pay $1,620
FUND 39 – REFERENDUM APPROVED
DEBT SERVICE PAYMENT SCHEDULE
FUND 50 – FOOD SERVICE
• 2013-2014 Budget
• Balanced budget is in place for 2014-2015
• Expenditures, revenues set at $1,409,530
• Maintenance department salaries and benefits account for $42,901of
the total food service expenditures. The figure is based on 5% of the
salary and benefit costs of each individual employed by the District in
the maintenance department
• The reasoning behind this is to move the amount out from under the
revenue limit formula and “free” up funds in the general operating
budget
• Building Services accounts for $35,598 of the total food service expense
budget. This figure is based on actual hours billed by BSG for work done
in the kitchen/cafeteria of each building
• Combined cost for maintenance and cleaning billed to Fund 50 $78,000 – does impact the fund balance directly as those costs must be
covered by sales
• Fund balance projected to remain flat at $3,950 on June 30, 2015
FUND 72 - SCHOLARSHIPS
• Fund 72
• KASD holds approximately $170,000 in Fund 72 from which
scholarships are awarded on an annual basis
• $127 was earned in interest during the 2013-2014 school year in
Fund 72
• $3,800 was paid out to scholarship recipients at the conclusion
of the 2013-2014 school year
• 13 separate scholarship accounts make up Fund 72
• $138,000 of the $170,000 is located in three of the 13 accounts
• Fund 72 does not account for all scholarship funds that are
paid out on an annual basis only for those that have had
money turned over to KASD to be managed
FUND 73 – EMPLOYEE BENEFIT TRUST
FUND (OPEB)
• Wisconsin Act 99
• Wisconsin State Statute enacted in 2006 allows school
districts to invest funds for the sake of offsetting costs for
future post employment benefits (health insurance, dental
insurance, and other contractual agreements)
• Legislation requires reporting, on an annual basis, the
following information:
•
•
•
•
Amount held in the trust account or accounts
Investment return earned during the last fiscal year
Total disbursements made during the previous fiscal year
Name of the investment manager if applicable
FUND 73 - REVIEW OF 2013-2014
• Trust balance
• KASD held $2,758,316.16 in its Fund 73 Trust Account as of June 30, 2014
• The projected post employment benefit liability of the Kaukauna Area School
District is $8,124,000 based on the latest actuarial study
• KASD has 34.0% of the unfunded liability covered
• KASD earned $14,351.92 in interest on investments held in Fund 73
during the 2013-2014 fiscal year
• KASD earned $78,051 on investments in Fund 73 during fiscal 2013-2014
• KASD paid $815,715 for post employment health, dental, life, and other
retiree benefits during 2013-2014
• Basically this figure is the pay-as-you-go amount for retired employees and
benefits owed to them based on past contracts
• The amount listed comes directly out of the District’s operating budget and is
under the umbrella of the revenue limit
• KASD transferred $40,785 more to Fund 73 from Fund 10 which essentially was
available due to unspent Fund 10 dollars
• The ultimate goal of Fund 73 will see investment earnings offset the cost of the
post employment benefit freeing revenue limit funds to be used in other areas
FUND 73 – EMPLOYEE BENEFIT TRUST
FUND 2013-2014
• Trust Fund Advisor
• The Kaukauna Area School District will continue to utilize the services of
CESA 6 and their affiliates for its Fund 73 Employee Benefit Trust
investments
• KASD employees and former employees with a vested interest in its
Employee Benefit Trust Fund program can, at any time, request
documentation on the partnership between KASD and CESA 6 as well as any
other pertinent information regarding investment accounts
• Budget
• KASD expenditures for post retirement benefits is budgeted at $841,000
for 2014-2015
• A transfer from Fund 10, General Operations, and Fund 27, Special
Education, to Fund 73 will take place cover OPEB costs
• KASD revenues for investment income purposes has been set at
$13,000 for 2014-2015; return on investment at $25,000
• Post retirement benefit costs directly affect the Fund 10 operating budget of
a school district
FUND 80 – COMMUNITY SERVICE FUND
• Wisconsin Act 20
• Does not change the authority of school boards to establish
a Community Service Fund but it does limit the levy to an
amount less than or equal to the amount levied for the
2013-2014 school year in Fund 80
• KASD levied $79,373 in Fund 80 last year
• KASD utilized the levied funds to pay for police liaison services at
both River View School and Kaukauna High School as well as
50% of the administrative assistant salary and benefit cost in the
District Activities Department
• Other rule changes with Wisconsin Act 20 include:
• Districts have to report to DPI on how funds will be spent
• DPI has to publish all Fund 80 levy information on their website and
also send the information to the Joint Committee on Finance
• Districts must also report how funds will be spent on their website
FUND 80 - PROPOSED BUDGET
• 2014-2015 Revenue
• $79,373.11 tax levy requested to offset Fund 80 expenses
• Approximate mill rate impact is $0.05 per $1,000 of property value
•
•
A $150,000 property would pay an extra $7.50 due to Fund 80
A $300,000 property would pay an extra $15.00 due to Fund 80
• 2014-2015 Expenditures
• $24,843 toward the cost of the River View police liaison officer
• This is roughly 45% of the annual cost
• $17,644 toward the cost of the Kaukauna High School police liaison officer
• This is roughly 45% of the annual cost
• $36,886 to cover 50% of the administrative assistant cost in the District
Activities Office and other associated costs
• KASD, at one time, earmarked $15,000 to be levied in Fund 80 and donated those
funds to 1000 Islands for services provided. KASD now pays 1000 Islands directly out
of Fund 10 as the donation for services does not meet Fund 80 criteria.
• Fund balance
• The 2013-2014 ending fund balance was $0.00 in Fund 80
KASD – OVERALL OPERATING BUDGET
2014-2015
• Revenues vs. Expenditures
• Projected 2014-2015 revenues for KASD total $50,724,964
• Projected 2014-2015 expenditures are $50,652,264
• The difference - $72,699 – is based on tax revenue being higher than
expenditures in Fund 38 and Fund 39
• Fund 38 and Fund 39 must carry balances at the end of the fiscal
year in order to cover the cost of debt service payments in
September of the following year
2014-2015 PROPERTY TAX LEVY
