ISD 413, Marshall
Tax Hearing Presentation State law requires that we present information on the
current year budget and actual revenue and expenses for the prior year
State law also requires that we present information on the proposed property tax levy, including:
The percentage increase/decrease over the prior year Specific purposes and reasons if taxes are being
increased/decreased District must also allow for public comments
Agenda for Hearing
A. Background on School Funding, Property Tax Levies, and Budgets
B. Information on District BudgetC. Information on the District’s
Proposed Tax Levy for Taxes Payable in 2014
D. Public Comments and Questions
Public Education is Strong in Minnesota…… In Minnesota, the most commonly taken standardized
college entrance exam is the ACT. Seventy-four percent of Minnesota high school graduates in 2013 took the assessment, compared with 54% nationally
Minnesota’s average composite score of 22.9 was the highest in the nation of the 29 states in which more than half of the college-bound students took the test in 2013
Minnesota has led the nation in average composite ACT scores for eight consecutive years among states where more than half of high school seniors took the test. The national composite score was 20.7
Marshall’s composite score was 22.7
State of MN Constitution
“ARTICLE XIII MISCELLANEOUS SUBJECTS Section 1. UNIFORM SYSTEM OF PUBLIC
SCHOOLS. The stability of a republican form of government depending mainly upon the intelligence of the people, it is the duty of the legislature to establish a general and uniform system of public schools. The legislature shall make such provisions by taxation or otherwise as will secure a thorough and efficient system of public schools throughout the state.”
As a result… School District Funding is Highly Regulated by the State
State sets formulas which determine revenue; most revenue is based on specified amounts per pupil
State sets tax policy for local schools State sets maximum authorized property tax
levy (districts can levy less but not more than amount authorized by state, unless approved by the voters)
State authorizes school board to submit referendums for operating and capital needs to voters for approval
State Funding for Schools Has Not Kept Pace with Inflation
Increases in basic general education revenue per pupil have been less than inflation
There has been improvement overall this past year.
Per-pupil revenue for fiscal year 2014-15 is projected to be $332 below the 2004-05 inflation adjusted amount
For Fiscal 2014 and 2015, basic per-pupil funding is projected to increase by at least 1.5% per year, while most districts’ expenses will likely increase, without budget cuts, by 2-3% annually

** Formula Allowance of $5806 adjusted for change in pupil weighting. The real dollar increase is $80 or 1.5%.
Impact is budget cuts and operating referendums… Even with these increases in state funding
expected, 44.2%* of districts continue to face projected budget shortfalls for FY 2014 and FY 2015 and anticipate the need to do some budget cuts
To meet local school budget shortfalls, voters in 300 districts, or 89.3% of all Minnesota districts, have approved an operating referendum levy
The state average amount for the current year is $920 per pupil unit
Of sixty-six questions proposed this year, fifty-eight passed or 88%

Change in Tax Levy Does Not Determine Change in Budget
Tax levy is based on many state-determined formulas
Some increases in tax levies are revenue neutral, offset by reductions in state aid
Expenditure budget is limited by state-set revenue formulas, voter-approved levies, and fund balance, not just by tax levies

levy Impact on taxpayers
ISD 413, Marshall
Authority for School LeviesA School District Tax Levy must be either:
Set by State Formulaor
Voter Approved
Property Tax Background Every owner of taxable property pays
property taxes for the various ‘taxing jurisdictions’ (county, city or township, school district, special districts) in which the property is located
Each taxing jurisdiction sets its own tax levy, often based on limits in state law
County sends out bills, collects taxes from property owners, and distributes funds back to other taxing jurisdictions
School District Property Taxes Each school district may levy taxes in
up to 30 different categories ‘Levy Limits’ (maximum levy amounts)
for each category are set either by: State law, or Voter approval
Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) calculates detailed levy limits for each district
Property Tax Background
School District Property Taxes Key steps in the process are
summarized on the next slide Any of these steps may affect the
taxes on a parcel of property, but the district has control over only 1 of the 7 steps
Legislative Changes Do Affect Tax Levy The 2013 Legislature approved
significant changes in school funding formulas which will affect tax levies payable in 2014
State aid for operating referendums was increased, resulting in reductions in tax levy for most districts
State allowed some districts to add new board-authorized referendum revenue and location equity revenue, which will increase tax levies for some districts
State aid for operating capital revenue was also increased, resulting in reductions in tax levy
State added a new “Student Achievement Levy” which will fund some of the basic general education revenue for all districts
The Homestead Credit Shift The 2011 legislature repealed the
Homestead Market Value Credit In its place, the Legislature
implemented a Homestead Market Value Exclusion

that cause property tax increases and decreases?
1. Changes in value of the individual property
2. Changes in class rates/history3. Market Value Homestead Exclusion4. Voter Approved Referendums5. Ongoing Legislative Action6. Changes in the total value of all

They were discussed at the local board of review and county board of equalization hearings held earlier this year. The final taxable market values may reflect a reduction under the limited value law. If this property is a qualifying homestead, the final taxable market values may exclude improvements which you made to this property.
