NORTH PLATTE R-I SCHOOL DISTRICT North Platte Panthers Winter 2015 From the Board of Education: On April 7, 2015, the patrons of the North Platte R-I School District will vote to eliminate fully the Proposition C Sales Tax Rollback in its operating tax levy under Section 164.013 RSMo in order to maintain student programs, retain qualified staff, maintain its facilities, maintain adequate transportation services, and meet the operating expenses of the District. This would result in an increase of the operating tax levy ceiling. If this proposition is approved, the adjusted operation levy of the North Platte R-I School District is estimated to increase from $3.65, currently, to $3.7545 per one hundred dollars of assessed valuation for the 2015 Tax Year and thereafter. It is always our goal for the North Platte R-I School District to continue to provide a quality education so our youth can achieve, graduate, attend college, get good jobs and become productive citizens. The additional revenue from this levy increase is needed to accomplish that goal and avoid continued deficit spending, purchase instructional equipment and supplies, help adequately meet the general operating needs of the district, keep and retain the best teachers, and to keep our present student to teacher ratio. Funds for operating budgets are primarily provided by state aid under Missouri’s formula for funding education and property tax assessments. Under the current Missouri School Foundation Formula, state aid is determined primarily by school district enrollment. The District is in a difficult situation because the amount of state revenue we get is declining as is the revenue from federal sources. However, the total costs of educating our students have increased significantly as a result of higher costs for mandated retirement contributions, supplies, utilities, and basic services. We greatly appreciate the strong parental and community involvement that has allowed us to achieve our successes. North Platte R-I Board of Education (Ballot Language) Shall the Board of Education of the North Platte R-I School District, Missouri, be authorized to eliminate fully the Proposition C Sales Tax Rollback in its operating tax levy under Section 164.013 RSMo in order to maintain student programs, retain qualified staff, maintain its facilities, maintain adequate transportation services, and meet the operating expenses of the District? (If this proposition is approved, the adjusted operating levy of the District is estimated to increase from $3.65, currently, to $3.7545 per one hundred dollars of assessed valuation in Tax Year 2015 and thereafter.) (Continued on page 2) In this issue you will find: Tax Levy Information Inclement Weather School News Honor Rolls Student Recognition School Musical (Continued from page 1) The Missouri School and Highway Tax Proposition, also known as Proposition C, was on the November 2, 1982 ballot in Missouri as an initiated state statute, where it was approved. Proposition C is the state’s one-cent sales tax dedicated to education and was approved by voters in 1982. Half the revenue collected from the Proposition C tax is intended to reduce or roll back property taxes. Under Proposition C, half of a Missouri one-cent sales tax now going to schools, is returned to the voters unless voters OK a waiver allowing districts to keep that funding. There are 442 out of 520 (85%) school districts in the state of Missouri that have a full Prop C waiver which eliminates the rollback. Likewise, there are an additional forty-two schools that have a partial Prop C waiver. The North Platte R-I School District currently has a partial waiver. The full waiver expired after a 15 year sunset (2013). The full Prop C waiver was used to construct the current high school facility. What is the District’s plan if the voters do not approve the levy increase? Due to the decrease in state aid and the impact of other revenue reductions beyond local control, the District’s operating fund balance percentage has decreased each of the past five years. For the current budget year, difficult decisions were made resulting in budget cuts of more than $300,000. We worked diligently to minimize the impact of cuts on regular classroom instruction. The budget cuts that have already been made for this year include: Reducing budgets for textbooks, supplies, equipment, maintenance, transportation, and athletics. Postponing maintenance projects. Reducing substitute teachers. Reducing technology upgrades and device purchases. Reducing one-half maintenance position, pre-school driver, and one-half custodian position. Combining junior high and high school libraries. For 2015-16 - combining 7-12 principal position. Further decreases in state aid and other major revenues will force us to continue the cuts already made and likely make additional expense reductions that will have a significant impact on the educational programs and services we are able to provide to our students. Preserving Success In the past three years the District has received one of the top five scores on the Annual Performance Report (APR) earning Accredited with Distinction honors under the standards of the Missouri School Improvement Program. Our students have won many local and state awards in academic, practical art, shop, and athletic competitions. Not many districts can claim that kind of success for its students. The bottom line is the North Platte R-I School District wants to continue and improve the educational opportunities that are provided to our students. (Continued on page 3) Page 2 Why Now? The District has attempted to make up for the lack of revenue by cutting expenditures. The District is heavily reliant on state funding to maintain its programs and services for students. Due to the weakened economy the District has seen significant cuts in state funding and projections are that these cuts will continue in the coming years. Enrollment projections show an additional reduction of 5-8% over the next five years. The District’s cash flow toward the end of the calendar year forced the securing of a Tax Anticipation Note (TAN) to meet obligated expenditures.
