| Subject: |
1. Public Hearing on proposed budget and tax rate.
|
|
|
Description:
The Board of Trusetees gives the public an opportunity to express their opinion on the proposed budget and tax rate.
|
||
| Subject: |
1.A. Proposed Budget
|
|
|
Description:
I am recommending a proposed budget for Ralls ISD of $6,417,505.38 for the 2011-2012 school year. The total budget includes federal programs, TRS on-behalf benefits that are just reported, and is not expenditure. Also, part of the food service budget includes USDA donated commodities that are reported as expenditures, but are actually donations. The expenditures are greater than the revenue generated, therefore we will address the shortfall of $299,962.14 by going into our Fund Balance for the 2011-2012 school year.
|
||
| Subject: |
1.B. Proposed Tax Rate
|
|
|
Description:
We are proposing the tax rate of $1.04 per $100- evaluation to maintain the current tax rate. The values for 2011 of $117,876,231.00 will generate $1,201,395.00 at a 98% collection rate.
THIS TAX RATE WILL RAISE MORE TAXES FOR MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS THAN LAST YEAR'S TAX RATE. |

4.A. Deliberation and possible action of the Ralls ISD 2011-2012 budget.
|
|
|
Description:
I am recommending a proposed budget for Ralls ISD of $6,417,505.38 for the 2011-2012
school year. The total budget includes federal programs, TRS on-behalf
benefits that are just reported, and is not expenditure. Also, part of
the food service budget includes USDA donated commodities that are
reported as expenditures, but are actually donations. The expenditures
are greater than the revenue generated, therefore we will address the
shortfall of $299,962.14 by going into our Fund Balance for the 2011-2012
school year.
Estimated total revenue for Ralls ISD for 2011-2012 are based on estimated taxable values of $117,876,231.00 with the tax rate of $1.04 rate and a 475.280 Refined Average Daily Attendance. |
||
| Subject: |
4.B. Adopt the Tax Rate for the Ralls Independent School District.
|
|
|
Description:
The board has given the public an opportunity to participate in a
public meeting and get input from the local district constituents. I am recommending that we adopt a rate
of $1.04 per $100 of evaluation. We are proposing the tax rate of $1.04
per $100 evaluation to maintain the current tax rate. The
budget may go into a deficit budget if some extremes occur, the
continuing climb of energy costs and fuel, or damage to a building that
would require extensive repair.
The values for 2011 of $ 117,876,231.00 will generate $1,201,395.00.00 at a 98% collection Rate. As a result of this proposal and the values increasing, taxes on the average homestead would decrease by $2.78 compared to 2010 taxes. THIS TAX RATE WILL RAISE MORE TAXES FOR MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS THAN LAST YEAR'S TAX RATE. |

| Subject: |
4.C. Deliberation and possible action for Ralls ISD to sell One (1)
Attendance credit to Sundown ISD for the 2011-2012 school year.
|
|
|
Description:
Sundown ISD is a Chapter 41 School District, or a property
wealthy district, and contacted Ralls ISD to enter into an Option 4 contract
for 2011-2012 school year, as we have done in the past. Option 4 is the selling
of WADA to a chapter 41 school district. Ralls ISD will not gain monetarily
from the sale, but we do gain from the Region 17 Technology Consortium. By the
district selling one WADA to Sundown ISD our state aide payments from the state
will be reduced accordingly during the school year. This contract is for one
year only and has to be renegotiated every year. We will receive a payment from
Sundown ISD.
