BOE unanimously votes for referendumThe Madison Board of Education voted unanimously toput a question to the voters on November 4 to exceed therevenue limits. The BOE approved a recurringreferendum to exceed revenue limits by $5 million duringthe 2009-10 school year, $4 million for 2010-11 and $4million for 2011-12.Without passage of a referendum, the district estimatesthat in order to comply with state-imposed revenue limits, $8.1 million would have to bereduced from the 2009-10 budget; $4.4 million from the 2010-11 budget; and, $4.3million from the 2011-12 budget.To address the remaining gap of $3 million for the 2009-10 school year, the districtproposes to use $2 million of an estimated $4 million in savings from the 2007-08budget. The district also recommends reducing the unallocated staff positions forelementary schools by ten positions ($600,000) and additional cuts of $400,000 invarious department budgets.While voters are asked for authority to exceed the revenue limits, the district also hasidentified two changes to implement over the next school year that will help to mitigatethe tax impact of the referendum. By using a different depreciation schedule for buildingmaintenance, the district will receive more state aid and thus reduce the impact on thelocal property tax payer, if the referendum is approved by voters.In addition, at the completion of the 2007-08 fiscal year the unaudited balance for theCommunity Services Fund (Fund 80) shows a $2.2 million balance. The districtrecommended, and the BOE embraced, returning $2 million of the balance to thetaxpayers, reducing the projected 2009-10 levy from $12.9 million to $10.9 million.The estimated impact to a $250,000 home in Madison would be $27.50 more for 2009 taxbills.
