3 Challenges Challenges, Choices State and federal funding shortfalls Despite wonderful support from our community, the district faces financial realities. Since 1991, funding increases from the state of Minnesota have lagged behind inflation; the shortfall for Robbinsdale Area Schools in the school year is $10 million. In addition, the state reduced its funding for special education resulting in shortfalls that were paid for from the school district's general fund. In , Robbinsdale Area Schools' special education shortfall was $7.3 million. Choices: Increase revenue or reduce expenses* Increase revenue: If the referendum is approved, we will Reduce and maintain class size Reduce class size at both secondary and elementary. Class sizes were increased in 2007 following $4.5 million in budget reductions. Sustain current school programs Sustain programs in academics, the arts and athletics listed below as cuts. Maintain our standing as a district of excellence Challenge more students to take rigorous course offerings for better post-secondary preparation. Support our nationally recognized fine arts programs Maintain arts programs proposed for elimination at the elementary schools. Support valuable extra-curricular activities Maintain extra-curricular activities and athletics with affordable fees. Keep technology current Implement all or portions of the 5-year technology plan. Reduce expenses: If the referendum is not approved Cuts Schools face another $5 million in cuts in Close an elementary school and redraw boundaries Eliminate elementary art (Cut 5 art teachers) Eliminate elementary gifted and talented program (Cut 3 teachers) Increase elementary class size or pair schools (Cut 11 teachers) Increase secondary class size (Cut 17 teachers) Eliminate middle school activities and athletics Increase fees for high school activities and athletics & reduce options Eliminate 8 additional positions at elementary and secondary Eliminate positions: support staff, transportation and administrative The complete list is at click Referendum Information Schools face another $4 million in cuts in Specific cuts have not been identified These cuts are in addition to the $4.5 million in cuts made for the school year. *The school board will take final action, depending on the outcome of the referendum, in Jan

5 Frequently Asked Questions Q. What is an operating referendum? A. With voter approval, an operating referendum gives local school boards authority to levy property taxes for basic education. About 90 percent of Minnesota school districts, including all metro districts, receive local referendum funding. Approximately a third of Minnesota school districts are asking voters to consider an increase in operating levies this fall. Q. What is the current levy and how much is the proposed increase? A. The current levy is $13.1 million; the additional proposed levy is $9.7 million. The combined annual total would be $22.8 million, or $228 million over 10 years. An inflationary factor is included in the proposal. Q. How much will the levy cost me? A. For the average priced home ($240,000) it will cost approximately $19 per month, or $234 per year. This is in addition to the current levy. Q. What will happen if the referendum is approved by voters? A. The district will be able to reduce class sizes and maintain quality programs for all students. Q. What will happen if the referendum is not approved? A. The district will be forced to cut $5.0 million and $4.0 million for the and school years respectively. The district has already cut $4.5 million for the current school year, including an increase in class sizes for the first time since the mid-1990s. Q. Why is the district seeking additional revenue through the referendum? A. The district s fund balance (savings account) is eroding due to years of underfunding by the state and federal governments. State funding has not kept pace with inflation this decade, while district expenses continue to escalate. The district has reduced costs by selling surplus facilities and reducing staff as enrollment declines. Q. Isn t state funding increasing? A. State general formula funding was increased for by 2 percent, and for by 1 percent. The state also provided more dollars for funding special education to ease the burden on school districts general fund budget. (For the Robbinsdale district, the state provided $2.9 million, but the cost of special education to the district general fund is more than $7 million.) It s not enough to keep up with the increasing costs faced by school districts across the metro area and state. The state recognizes that it cannot keep up with schools funding needs, so it has increased the maximum limit that schools can levy local taxpayers. Q. How does Robbinsdale Area Schools funding compare to other school districts? A. Robbinsdale ranks 8th in property tax revenue collected in comparison with our neighboring school districts, with most nearby districts collecting approximately $600 more per student. Districts such as Osseo and Anoka-Hennepin, which collect about the same property tax revenue as the Robbinsdale district, are also pursuing levy increases this fall. Q. How do residents without K-12 kids benefit? A. When asked, local Realtor Kath Hammerseng said, Families move to the Robbinsdale district for the nationally recognized arts programs. An area that attracts families helps keep property values high and the economy strong. Homeowners, home sellers and home buyers should consider the impact that increased revenue or reduced budgets will have to Robbinsdale Area Schools and to the communities within the district. Q. What s the difference between a bond election and an operating levy referendum? A. Robbinsdale Area Schools voters are asked to consider an operating levy referendum which supports additional funding of day-to-day operating expenses. Capital or bond levy funds can only be used for maintaining, improving or building new schools or related school district facilities. Q. Isn t the district top heavy? Why don t you cut administrators? A. Robbinsdale Area Schools is not top heavy, though this is a common misconception. In fact, in 2005, the school district was fourth lowest in administrative expense among school districts in Hennepin County. Since then the district has further reduced administrative expense by $260,000. Q. Have voters supported referendum elections in the past? A. Voters in the Robbinsdale Area Schools district have approved every request for an increased operating levy, most recently in Two capital levy referenda for reconstruction of aging schools were defeated in the 1990s. Information:
6 Sample Ballot Management of Expenses Robbinsdale Area Schools has kept a firm handle on the expenses it can control in order to delay budget reductions and delay seeking new revenue. The community helped the district prioritize major restructuring of facilities and programs to more effectively and efficiently deliver services. In the past seven years, the operating budget has been reduced by $7.3 million; district administration has been reduced by $260,000 in the last two years. Surplus buildings have been sold and an elementary school closed resulting in decreased operating expenses. Capital revenue from the sale of facilities (which cannot be used for operations) is being reinvested in renovation projects such as at Plymouth Middle School. Meanwhile, energy and human resources expenses continue to rise. As the fund balance was drawn down, it became clear that revenue would need to be increased in order to maintain current programs and class sizes. Don't have kids in school? The school board has determined that district residents of all ages benefit when schools are strong. In addition to developing caring, creative and productive children, your public schools serve as community meeting places, offer basic education and lifelong learning opportunities for adults, and help neighborhoods retain their home values. When schools are strong, your community is strong. Information:
