The mission of District 885 is to provide a safe educational, environment where
sturdentsare ericouraged to develop lifelong learning, skills which nurture' positive
attitudes and self-worth.
To continUe the District's strong tradition of excellence and expandl opportunities
for all students, St. Michael-Mbertvitte School Board establishes the following
priorities forthe 20,19 legis[ative session.,
ADEQUACY
EducaUon funding has noL kept pace with inflation, U11funded mandates, or the
ri si ng expectations for stud en t, achi eye me nt , STRIA ranks 3 2 9 /3 30 'i n per, pupil
reVenLle. 11nadequate, state funding has, created large disparities in opportunities
for our students. To close the opportunity gap,*
Increase the basic formula by a irnininium of'$2501 Per' pupil in each of the
next two years,
c) Recent increases in the basic formula, have done little to rn,ake up
for the significant loss of buying power due to inflation over the past
two decades,
o If the legislature had provided inflationary increases to the Ibaasiic
formula, schools would have over ''51,4010 more per pupil. This loss of
buying power, limits educational opportunities for students.
Increase the state,'s share of special education funding.
In FY201 7 STMA dliverted $3.7 million or 538 per, pupil of funding
meant for regular education classroorn instruction to cover
mandated but unreirribursed speciat education programming,
o The $3.7 million that STMA n`1145t, divert from its general furred to pay
for special education mandates substantially Limits opportunities for
all STMA studients,
EQUITY
Without significant commercial and industrial development to expand the tax base
and lower, the overall taxpayer cost, the cost for, school levies falls heavily on
homeowners in low -property wealth districts such as 'TMA. This reduces the
ainclunt, of revenue local taxpayers, can provide in support of STMA Schools. The
quality of a student's, education should not depend merotyon their zip code.
0 Increase equalization in, low -property wealth school districts for school
operating, levies and building bonds.,
* Through increased equalization (state aid) the inequitable property
tax, burden and the growing educational Opportunity gaps can be
reduced,
* Fora $2,387 per pupil levy since STMA is "property poor" our
taxpayers would pay /yr. while taxpayers in neighboring
fiopkins, a "property,weafthy" district, would pay $1169/year.
& Create an equitable program for districLssuich as STM,A that receive
significantly tess, revenue to, narrow the gap between districts at the top
,and bottom Of the fUnding continuum.
COMMONSENSE
Policies that divert resources of time or money is an ecItrity issue for the towe5t-
funded school districts such as STMA, As each district is, unique, each school Iboard
must have the local control to, rrianage limited resources to provide the best possible
education for all. StUdents,.
