The effect of 2011 property tax caps on the total expenditures of Indiana's K-12 public school systems will be manageable.
According to the December 1, 2009, estimates from the nonpartisan Legislative Services Agency, the state's 293 K-12 public school systems will experience a revenue decline of $148,720,706 as a result of the 1%-2%-3% property tax caps in 2011. This $148.7 million revenue decline is NOT reduced by state-paid school property tax replacement grants (which totaled $40 million in 2009 and $60 million in 2010). Because of budget shortfalls, the state will probably not be able to continue in 2011 the grants that replaced property tax cap losses in excess of 2% of a school system's total property tax levy. Therefore, the 2011 property tax cap loss estimates represent a "worst case scenario" for K-12 public schools.
A good way to evaluate the $148.7 million revenue decline resulting from the 2011 property tax caps is to compare it to the total spending of Indiana's 293 K-12 public school systems. The latest available grand total expenditures data from the Indiana Department of Education is for the July 1, 2008, through June 30, 2009 fiscal year. The DOE K-12 school data includes revenue from all sources - local, state, and federal. Indiana's 293 K-12 public school systems spent a grand total of $14,530,186,580 in 2009.
You can go online to http://mustang.doe.state.in.us/TRENDS/fin.cfm to find detailed 2001 through 2009 expenditures data from the Indiana Department of Education for your local K-12 public school system. Be sure to click the submit button for the "Descriptive Listing by Fund and Account" Report.
Each local public school systems gets its revenue from most or all of the following state, local, and federal revenue sources (excluding capital project bond proceeds): Local Property Tax, Other Local Revenue Sources (various), Financial Institutions Tax, Non-Property Taxes, License Excise Taxes, Commercial Vehicle Excise Tax, Tuition (various), Earnings on Investments, Rent of Property, Receipts from Clearing Accounts, Fees (various), Receipts from Extra-Curricular, Congressional Interest, Unrestricted State Grants-In-Aid, Restricted State Grants-In-Aid, Sale of Property, Adjustments, Refunds, Unrestricted-Thru-State Federal Grants-In-Aid, Restricted-Thru-State Federal Grants-In-Aid, Restricted-Direct Federal Grants-In-Aid, Other Federal Revenue Sources (various), Local Textbook Rentals and Sales, State Textbook Reimbursements, Gifts, Donations, Trusts, Bequests. All state, local, and federal revenue for our public schools ultimately come from the same source - working families.
The $148.7 million property tax caps revenue decline in 2011 is only 1.0% of the $14.5 billion grand total expenditures of Indiana's K-12 public school systems in 2009. Of the 293 K-12 Indiana public school systems, 271 school systems will experience a 2011 property tax caps revenue decline that is 2.0% or less of their 2009 grand total expenditures.
The property tax caps will not cut the tuition support for our school children. Classroom spending has been assumed by the state in return for the latest statewide sales tax increase. However, the property tax caps may stress the transportation budgets of some school systems. Some school revenue is dedicated and cannot be transferred to meet transportation needs. It MAY be necessary to give school systems additional flexibility to transfer non-classroom funds to cover transportation shortfalls. The 2010 General Assembly did provide some flexibility by allowing a school corporation to adopt a resolution to transfer money during the 2010-2011 school year to one or more of its funds from any of its funds (other than a debt service fund or a racial balance fund). The total amount that may be transferred in 2010-2011 may not exceed an amount equal to (1) five percent of the school corporation's capital projects fund levy or (2) ten percent of the school corporation's capital projects fund levy if the governing body includes in the authorizing resolution a certification that the employees of the school corporation will not receive a general wage and salary increase for the 2010-2011 school year.
Because of recent revenue shortfalls, the state has imposed some temporary K-12 tuition support spending cuts that are NOT related to the property tax caps. Some actions that school corporations can consider to increase savings and efficiency to offset the effects of both the tuition support cuts and property tax caps during tight economic times include those listed next.
1. Undertake a district or school analysis of where funds are spent and whether they align to student learning. [NOTE: to identify the progress (or lack of progress) of Indiana school corporations in improving the ratio of student instructional expenditures to all other expenditures, the Indiana Office of Management & Budget has prepared a Student Instructional Expenditures Report (2008-09).]
2. Freeze, reduce, or rollback the present salary and benefits of all school employees.
3. Use insurance pools, including the state health plan, to compare cost effectiveness, level of coverage, and appropriate deductibles.
4. Reduce school administration and school board compensation packages.
5. Suspend 403(b), 401(a), and 457(b) matches for all employees.
6. Institute a corporation hiring freeze except for those positions that are neutral to the general fund or add teachers.
7. Eliminate memberships in professional associations and reduce travel expenses.
8. Effectively outsource transportation and custodial services and direct savings to the rainy day fund.
9. Use extra money that school corporations may have in the general fund and rainy day funds.
10. Sell. lease, or close underutilized buildings.
11. Reduce or roll back operating and program budgets to previous year levels.
12. Review school consolidation options both within the corporation and between corporations.
13. Offer no summer school opportunities that are not fully reimbursable from the state level or do not pay for themselves with reimbursements from vocational dollars.
14. Enable shift of dollars from administrative use to targeted summer school or other remedial use.
15. Focus the corporation curriculum on the core subjects, narrowing elective offerings within core subjects.
16. Reduce the number of sports, clubs, and academic teams, or use participation fees or sponsorships to pay for them.
17. Eliminate activities outside the varsity level competition played on non-school days to save on energy cost and supervision personnel.
18. Consider charging all non-school groups to contribute to incremental costs of operating the facility.
19. Eliminate delivery systems that increase the cost of academic education by more staff, such as block schedules or trimesters.
IF the 1% - 2% - 3% property tax caps and homeowner property tax deductions are reliably protected through passage of the Constitutional Amendment on November 2, 2010, it MIGHT also make sense to working families to approve a local referendum for a 7-year property tax increase to provide additional tuition support in the following school systems: Anderson (Madison County), Beech Grove (Marion County), Boone Township (Porter County), Brownsburg (Hendricks County), Centerville-Abington (Wayne County), Clark-Pleasant (Johnson County), Crawford County, Decatur Township (Marion County), East Chicago (Lake County), Franklin (Johnson County), Franklin Township (Marion County), Gary (Lake County), Logansport (Cass County), Muncie (Delaware County), Noblesville (Hamilton County), Randolph Eastern (Randolph County), Vincennes (Know County), Washington (Daviess County), Wayne Township (Marion County), Westfield-Washington (Hamilton County), Whiting (Lake County), Yorktown/Mt. Pleasant Township (Delaware County). These 22 school systems will experience a 2011 property tax caps revenue decline that is more than 2.0% of their 2009 grand total expenditures. Any other school system that proposes a 7-year property tax increase referendum, which would fall OUTSIDE the property tax caps protection, has not done enough to increase its savings and efficiency and THE REFERENDUM SHOULD BE DEFEATED AT THE POLLS.
The effect of 2011 property tax caps on the education of our children will be manageable. There is no good reason to oppose the Constitutional Amendment that will make the tax burden of Hoosier working families more fair and affordable in these turbulent economic times.
