3.B. Action Items:
|
|
| Subject: |
3.B.1. Deliberation and possible action to approve the Ralls ISD 2013-2014 budget.
|
|
|
Description:
I am recommending a proposed budget for Ralls ISD of $6,469,997.70 for the 2013-2014 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 projected revenue generated, therefore we will run a deficit budget. We will address the shortfall of $149,692.34 by going into our Fund Balance for the 2013-2014 school year. Estimated total revenue for Ralls ISD for 2013-2014 are based on the taxable value of $135,397,265.00 with the tax rate of $1.04 and a 480.133 Refined Average Daily Attendance.
|
||
| Subject: |
3.B.2. 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 $100.00 of evaluation.
The values for 2013 of $135,397,265.00 will generate an estimated $1,356,849.00 at a 98% collection rate and a 3% decline in ADA. As a result of our values increasing by $220,900, taxes on the average homestead would increase by $3.96 compared to 2012 taxes. THIS TAX RATE WILL RAISE MORE TAXES FOR MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS THAN LAST YEAR'S TAX RATE. BECAUSE VALUES INCREASED BY $222,900.00, A RATE OF $1.04 IS EFFECTIVELY A 0.32% INCREASE IN THE TAX RATE. |

Description:
Sundown ISD is a chapter 41 school district and contacted Ralls ISD to enter into an Option 4 contract for the 2013-2014 school year, as we have done in the past. Option 4 is the selling of WADA to a chapter 41 school district. We will not gain monetarily form the sale, but we do gain from the Region 17 Technology Consortium.
