Although state law determines the amount of money each district will receive per student, it is the average number of full time students that drives the majority of school funding Because not all students can be counted as full time, the funded student count can be different from total "head count" enrollment
The state portion of school funding allocated per full time student is approximately $10,345 in 20222023 For each student needing extra services - special education, gifted studies or learning English - additional state dollars are provided These state dollars do not cover the full cost of this additional instruction
Marysville voters approved a 4 year Educational Programs and Operations Replacement Levy in 2018 to replace an expiring four year levy Unlike other types of taxes, local school levies must be renewed by voters to continue collecting. Current law requires 50 percent plus one of the voters to agree to continue this funding Approval of new bonds, which are for "building" new classrooms, schools, etc requires a super majority of 60 percent plus one voter approval to pass
Public schools are limited as to how much money can be requested in a levy The district may request up to $2,500 full time equivalent (FTE) per student. This is commonly known as "levy lid". The 2018 replacement levy measures expire at the end of the 2022 calendar year
Following a double levy failure in both February and April of 2022 the district will ask the voters to consider an Educational Programs and Operations (E, P, & O) levy in February 2023 The levy needs 50%+1 yes votes to pass the measure. Successful approval of the reinstatement measure will allow the District to collect approximately $25 million in local taxes in fiscal year 2024 2025 to reinstate educational programs When approved by voters, this levy amount never increases While property values may rise and fall, the amount of the total dollars collected from the local EE, P, & O remains constant As property values change the actual cost per $1,000 of assessed property value (tax rate) is adjusted to collect the voter approved total amount This levy is not a new tax
Each year our Board of Directors adopts a financial plan (budget) for the upcoming school year. The 2022 2023 budget was developed through the efforts and involvement of the Board of Directors, administrative team members, and staff at various levels throughout the district The Board of Directors' budget development priorities and guidelines for decisions are as follows:
? Ensure a safe learning and working environment for students and staff
? Value the education of the ?whole child?and seek equity over equality
? Focus financial and human resources on programs and policies that directly support the values, commitment, and promise of the Marysville School District
? Ensure that budget decisions are student-focused, practical, sustainable, and timely
? Honor the tax payer?s investment in our infrastructure: facilities, grounds, technology and other assets
? Increase financial stability by reaching 8%fund balance per policy
The 2022 20223 budget is designed to meet the budget development priorities and guidelines, to direct resources to teaching, learning, assessment activities, and to remain fiscally responsible

Each school depends on these services to run its educational programs.
Just like your family, every budget needs a "savings" account for unexpected situations In school districts, these savings accounts are known as the "fund balance" Board policy and responsible financial management requires the district to maintain at least 8%of its operating budget as a General Fund balance to pay for the one time only and unexpected costs in the schools We estimate the 2022 2023 school year at $15,453,273 (8 3%) of our budgeted expenditures in the General Fund balance This money has been saved over time and is non renewable If the money is spent on continuing daily operations, and there is no way to replace the money, the savings account would eventually run out and would lead to significant budget cuts The estimated fund balance at the end of the 2022 2023 school year is $13,168,764.
The district's average daily cost of operation divided into the ending fund balance would provide funding for approximately 14 school days The district does not receive its budgeted revenues in 12 equal monthly installments Additionally, expenditures are not equally distributed each month Therefore, it is necessary and prudent business practice to maintain funds to use as working capital throughout the year to offset unanticipated costs, revenue shortfalls, or both
During the legislative session, language was adopted that requires school districts (as part of the budget development, hearing, and review process) to disclose the amount of state funding to be received by the district for certain materials, supplies, operating costs (MSOC) and also the amount the district proposes to spend for MSOCs, the difference between the amounts, the proposed use of the difference (if positive), and how this will improve student achievement This allocation information comes from the F203 revenue sheet that the school district completes yearly The expenditure information comes from the official Marysville School District budget document (F195)
As part of the budget development, hearing, and review process required by state law, each school district must disclose:
(a) The amount of state funding to be received by the district; (b) the amount the district proposes to spend for materials, supplies, and operating costs; (c) the difference between the two amounts; and (d) any proposed use of the difference and how this use will improve student achievement.

Just as your family must balance your checkbook, public schools keep a very close eye on their expenses Staff review the budget on a daily basis to ensure maximum return on each and every dollar.
Members of the Board of Directors receive a financial report each month All financial documents reviewed by the school board at the board meetings are placed on the Marysville School District's website (www msd25 org) for the public to view In addition, state auditors review each school system's financial records every year to ensure business practices meet state law.
