Notice of Rollback Rate: The highest tax rate the district can adopt before requiring voter approval at an election is $1.340100. This election will be automatically held if the district adopts a rate in excess of the rollback rate of $1.340100.

Richardson Independent School District 2015-16 Budget Overview
The District’s vision, mission, and goals are as follows: Vision: Where all students learn, grow and succeed. Mission: To serve and prepare all students for their global future. Goals: Goal 1: Students are highly engaged in their educational life. Goal 2: Profound Curriculum is the foundation for learning. Goal 3: RISD has high performing, student focused teachers.
Goal 4: RISD ensures excellence in operations.
We believe that the budget process and proposed budget support our Vision, Mission, and Goals by evaluating available resources and focusing them on these issues. The district is required to adopt budgets for the General or Operating Fund, Child Nutrition Fund, and Debt Service Fund. Discussions in the Budget Overview will focus on the Operating Fund, unless noted otherwise, as this is the primary fund for the district and is the only fund currently subject to limitations from the school finance system and wealth equalization. The district faces a number of financial challenges and has developed a variety of strategies to address them, including: • A comprehensive multi-year financial plan, • Annual analysis of peer district comparative financial data, • Engaged stakeholder groups in the budget process, • Interaction with Superintendent and the Board of Trustees (see adoption calendar for details)
regarding budget throughout the year. The multi-year financial plan allows staff to be more proactive versus reactive regarding anticipated revenues, expenditures, and fund balance. The current multi-year financial plan, including assumptions for enrollment, taxable values, revenues, expenditures, and fund balance is as follows:

It is important that readers understand where district revenue comes from and how funds are spent, particularly in the Operating Fund, since it is subject to revenue limitations under current school finance legislation. Comparison of Revenues and Expenditures
Legislative Impact on School Finance School finance was a major issue during the 2015 legislative session, but ultimately was secondary to the legislature’s desire to provide some form of tax relief. House Bill (HB) 1 increases funding for public education, but does not address shortcomings in school finance identified through the most recent court ruling. Background – House Bill (HB) 1 from 2006 made significant changes to the Texas Education Code that focused on school property tax rate reduction. HB 1 also created revenue limitations using 2005-06 retained revenue levels to establish a target revenue level for each district. The 2009 legislative session made some school finance adjustments through HB 3646 that basically retained the structure from HB 1 as to revenue limitations and target revenue, but provided limited added funding to districts. The following is a summary of the main points of HB 3646. Districts are guaranteed or held harmless to an amount of revenue at least equal to the state and local target revenue per weighted pupil established under HB 1 plus at least $120 per weighted pupil in new funds. This equaled about $4.9 million for RISD; however, districts were required to use much of the added funds to pay for an added mandatory pay raise for staff.
8
The equalized wealth level for taxes up to the compressed rate (which for our district is $1.00) increased to approximately $476,500 for 2009-10, $481,900 for 2010-11, and $487,300 in 2011-12 and 2012-13. This means that the district will not make a recapture payment since our wealth level per weighted student falls below this level. While recapture fell, state revenue fell by an equal amount, and we had no net gain in available revenue from this change. The first six cents above the compressed rate are equalized to the Austin ISD yield. The equalized wealth level for operating tax rates after that remains at $319,500. Texas elected to fund the cost of HB 3646 and balance their budget using federal stimulus dollars, which were only available for two years and the margins tax created to offset reductions in school property tax generated lower than projected revenue. These decisions contributed to the massive State budget deficit in 2011. This deficit coupled with the Legislative leadership’s desire to not raise taxes or access the rainy day fund, meant that the 2011 Legislative session included a number of possible funding reductions to education. Our Board and Administration started developing budget reduction strategies for several different scenarios of funding loss using input from our staff and community. We prioritized reductions to consider and refined the scenarios as the legislative session progressed. The 2011 Legislative session ended with an appropriations bill that cut funding for public education by approximately $5.4 billion over the biennium. However the session ended with no resolution as to how this funding reduction would be distributed to districts. The Governor called a special session to attempt to address school funding; however, we were required to adopt our budget prior to any resolution on school funding from the special session. Using what we felt was the most likely scenario, our budget for 2011-12 assumed a loss of $20 million in state funding. The special session focused on two methods of implementing reductions to education. One involved across the board reductions for all districts and another focused reductions more heavily on districts with higher target revenue levels. The end result was the passage of SB1 which provided somewhat of a compromise. For RISD, the primary effects of SB1 were a 7.61% reduction in the regular program allotment in Tier I for 2011-12 and a 2% reduction in 2012-13. Reductions to the regular program allotment have the effect of reducing the district’s weighted average daily attendance (WADA). Our Additional State Aid for Tax Relief (ASATR) was also reduced by 7.65% starting in 2012-13, which means our hold harmless funds were reduced starting in 2012-13. This equated to a loss of $14.2 million and $21.7 million in funding for 2011-12 and 2012-13, respectively. The bill stipulates that ASATR will be eliminated by 2017, but does not specify how this will occur. We were in a much stronger financial position than most districts due to the conservative approach of our Board of Trustees and administration over the years. While we made reductions, we were able to avoid the large layoffs and major program reductions that many other districts made during this time.
9
The Texas House and Senate considered various public school funding options during the 2013 session, and the end result was passage of SB1. Key funding increases in SB1 included $3.4 billion added to funding distributed by the following:
• increase the Regular Program Allotment Factor to 1 • increase the basic allotment from $4,765 to $4,950 in 2013-14 and $5,040 in 2014-15 • reduce target revenue hold harmless by $282 million in 2013-14 and $417 million in
2014-15 • includes $838.7 million in funding for instructional materials already required under
statute • increase Student Success Initiative funding by $24 million
This amounted to additional net State funding for RISD of approximately $8 million. Current - RISD is a plaintiff district in litigation against the State regarding the adequacy of the school finance system. While District Judge Dietz has issued a ruling in our favor, the State has appealed the case to the Texas Supreme Court. A ruling is not expected until later in 2015 or early 2016. In the 2015 session, the House Public Education Committee attempted to address at least portions of the antiquated school finance system and provide significant additional funds for public education, while including tax relief in the form of lower franchise and sales tax. The Senate was more focused on tax relief than on overhauling the current school finance system. The Senate bills included a smaller increase in funding for public education and tax relief in the form of lower franchise tax and an increase in the state mandated homestead exemption. Senate leaders were reluctant to attempt an overhaul of the current school finance system until the Texas Supreme Court issues a final ruling on the school finance litigation noted earlier. The final approved version of HB 1 is closer to the Senate’s version of school funding and tax relief than to what was proposed by the House and includes an increase in the basic allotment within the funding formula and an increase in the guaranteed yield for enrichment pennies. The net effect is an increase in funding of approximately $5,274,000 for RISD starting in 2015-16. None of the last several legislative sessions have produced a solution to the issue of adequate school funding. State sponsored adequacy studies and school finance proposals have largely been based on what the State could afford to fund or was willing to fund versus what it actually costs to educate to the current mandates. The district will continue to work with our legislators to try to improve funding. Enrollment One of our most significant challenges involves projecting enrollment. Our actual enrollment for 2014-15 was in line with projections by Templeton Demographics. Templeton provided updated projections to the Board in January 2015 for a ten year period, and these have been incorporated into our multi-year financial plan. While enrollment is projected to grow, it will be at a more modest rate.
10
The district has conducted campus capacity reviews in areas with the highest enrollment growth and identified schools to increase instructional space in order to serve more students at their neighborhood school. Construction of additional space has begun at Prairie Creek Elementary and is projected to be complete by the start of school in 2016. Recapture Current school finance laws involve property wealth equalization (also known as recapture) that is tiered depending on the operating tax rate for a district. A complex system of weights for certain student populations; allotments/adjustments; cost of education index; etc. is used to establish the amount of revenue retained. RISD’s current wealth level falls below the equalized wealth levels for our current operating tax rate. Based on the current formula and wealth levels, RISD would only pay recapture if the operating tax rate were increased above $1.06. This does not result in increased retained revenue since earlier decreases in recapture were simply offset by reductions in state revenue. RISD has sent over $420.1 million to the State in Recapture payments as follows: History of Recapture Payments Under the Robin Hood Plan
11
Competitive Pay for All District Employees We monitor other district’s salary schedules regularly and make necessary modifications to our salary schedules to remain competitive. The Human Resources Department aggressively seeks top teachers, including beginning teachers, by offering open contracts as early in the hiring process as possible. An open contract guarantees the teacher a position within RISD although the school assignment will be determined later. This practice allows the district to retain the most qualified candidates and balance the average experience for staff. We modified our teacher compensation schedule several years ago, moving away from a step schedule for RISD veteran teachers. These teachers receive compensation increases as approved by the Board of Trustees. We developed a hire-in schedule for teachers joining the district. This compensation structure allows us to provide higher compensation to teachers who have been with the district versus those newly hired.
Details of Increased Employee Compensation for the 2015-16 Fiscal Year: The proposed budget for 2015-16 includes funds to provide eligible staff with a 3% increase in base salary at an estimated total operating cost of $6 million. The estimated operating cost reflects the cost of raises to staff funded from the general operating fund. Raises to staff whose salary is funded from sources other than the operating fund will be paid from the same source used to fund their base pay. Teacher-Type employees are teachers, counselors, nurses, and librarians. The salary adjustment is the greater of a 3% increase in base salary or the increase in the hire-in schedule. Employees must receive an evaluation rating of at least satisfactory to receive the increase. Administrative and Support Staff will receive the greater of a 3% salary adjustment from base pay or the assigned competency step adjustment based on years of experience in their respective positions. Employees must receive an evaluation rating of at least meets expectations or satisfactory on their last evaluation to receive the salary increase. The proposed budget includes an additional $500,000 in district contribution towards the cost of medical coverage for employees to partially offset projected premium increases. The district will provide a $2,000 critical need stipend to full time secondary math, secondary science, Languages Other Than English (LOTE), and special education teachers for 2015-16. This stipend will be subject to annual review of critical needs areas, annual review of available funding, and other factors as identified by the district and Board of Trustees.
Property Values
The Dallas Central Appraisal District (DCAD) provides an estimated preliminary certification of property values by the end of April each year and then certified property values in July. DCAD then provides monthly updates to the certified roll throughout the year to reflect changes in exemptions, value protest resolutions, etc.
12
Property values for calculating operating revenue under the State funding formula are based on the Texas Comptroller’s property tax determination of value each year, which are generally higher than DCAD values. The district works though a multi-step appeal process each year in order to receive what is referred to as local value or the DCAD valuation. Ideally the appeal process would be resolved by the end of the fiscal year, but it can take years to resolve in some instances. The Comptroller does not include the local optional homestead exemption impact.
The district’s multi-year financial plan projections involve expectations as to the final tax roll that we use to collect tax levy and the Comptroller’s value to determine operating revenue from the State. Changes in taxable value estimates have no net recurring impact on the operating budget due to the limitations imposed by the school finance system. Currently, if tax revenues go up or down then State aid changes, and we receive the same net recurring amount per weighted student. Changes in DCAD property values do have a direct impact on debt service revenue as this fund is not subject to wealth equalization or the Comptroller’s valuation. 2015-16 preliminary values received are 10.1% higher than current estimated 2014-15 final values. While this is encouraging, values will fall due to protests by the end of the year and final assessed values. The district has lost an average of 6.5% from the preliminary values to the final values over a 10 year period, with a high of a 10.3% loss and a low of a 3.7% loss.
We are projecting a 4% increase in 2015-16, 2% in 2016-17, 1% in 2017-18 and then flat for 2018 through 2020. This is higher than previously projected and will provide additional future bond capacity without raising the debt tax rate and/or protection from interest rate risks on future bonds. RISD remains one of the few districts that continue to provide a local optional homestead exemption to our residential taxpayers. This, combined with a moderate debt tax rate, results in one of the lowest tax levies for our taxpayers of any district in the metroplex (a comparison of tax impact on property owners is provided later in the document). 2015-16 Budget Recommendations While our approach to budgeting has been more conservative than many of our peer districts, we believe it created the most stability for our staff and represented the most sustainable approach for our community. This conservative approach put us in a much stronger financial position than many districts, contributing to our high credit rating, balanced sustainable budget, low tax levy compared to area districts, strong reserves and ability to avoid major layoffs. The proposed budget for 2015-16 continues to include a more aggressive approach to revenue than in prior years. Revenue calculations use the exact enrollment projections from the demographer with no buffer for negative variance and a more aggressive attendance estimate. Calculations also include a more aggressive estimate of the guaranteed yield for enrichment pennies (also referred to as the Austin yield). This means that negative variances from items such as lower than projected enrollment growth will have to be funded from positive variances on expenses or from the operating fund balance. Alternatives involving immediately increasing the tax burden on our community or exhausting our reserves are not recommended at this time.
