Clinton Community School District certifies levy, mil rate decreases
October 24, 2018 – CLINTON, WI – the Board of Education certified a $5,041,747.00 levy at a special meeting on October 21, 2018, a $247,872 decrease from the prior year levy of $5,289,620.00 The district’s mil rate also declined $.77 to $11.27 from the prior year mil rate of $12.04. School taxes on a home valued at $100,000 are expected to decline $77.00.
Prior to the special meeting, the district conducted its annual meeting and budget hearing during which time District Administrator Jim Brewer provided those in attendance with a “state of the schools” address. Mr. Brewer highlighted the district’s accomplishments relative to the development of a performance-based compensation system for teaching staff, improved student performance, and facilities assessment and planning process.
Director of Business Services Dan McCrea reviewed the district’s proposed budget, focusing on the district’s revenue limit worksheet comprised of state aid and local taxpayer support. The district’s 2018-19 revenue limit of $11,359,318 is comprised of $7,370,521 in state equalization and personal property aids and $3,988,797.00 in local property taxpayer support of the general fund. Overall, the State of Wisconsin’s equalization aid accounts for sixty-five (65%) percent of the district’s allowable revenue cap. When compared to the prior year, 2018 state equalization aid declined by $347,454.00.
The district also levied $1,042,950.00 in support of the debt service fund related to the 2001 constructed high school. The district’s debt, related to the high school, will be paid in full in 2019, one year earlier than scheduled, saving taxpayers $9,075.00 in interest expense. “As noted last year, the Board of Education has taken steps to aggressively pay-down its debt related to the high school with the intent of saving interest expense, not unlike a homeowner working to pay-down a home mortgage,” noted McCrea.
