XIII.B. FY26 Long-Term Facilities Maintenance Ten-Year Plan
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Presenter: |
Christopher Kampa
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Description:
Minnesota Statutes, section 123B.595, establishes the Long-Term Facilities Maintenance ("LTFM") Revenue program. School districts are required to annually update their LTFM ten-year plan and submit the board-approved plan to the commissioner for approval by July 31.
The plan submission includes revenue projections, expense projections, and a statement of assurances. Existing maintenance plans were used to complete the 10-year expenditure plan, including paving, roofing, flooring, painting, and more. The 10-year revenue projection plan is based on the revenue formula, which is $380 per adjusted pupil unit times the lessor of one or the ratio of the district’s average building age to 43 years. The projected adjusted pupil units are based on 10 years of historical pupil data. The Statement of Assurances requires the district to affirm we are aware of and are abiding by the State Statutes and MDE guidance on allowable expenditures. For the 2024 payable 2025 property tax levy, the plan must be approved before the proposed levy is certified in September 2024. |
