SLIDE 5
HOW ARE SCHOOLS FUNDED?
The 1994 School Finance Act determines how much funding each school district will receive (“Total Program” and “Per Pupil Funding”) The funding is a mix of State and Local sources (“State Share” and “Local Share”)
Local Share = Fixed tax rate set by State of Colorado applied all to DCSD taxpayers – 25.440 mills State Share = Funding from State Income Tax and Sales Tax allocated by Legislature (39% of State’s General Fund)
$- $1,000 $2,000 $3,000 $4,000 $5,000 $6,000 $7,000 $8,000 2017-2018
DCSD Per Pupil Revenue 2017-2018
Local Portion PPR State Portion PPR
TOTAL FIXED AT $7,389
More Local Share = Less State Share An increase in local funding due to economic growth and rising property values does NOT provide our schools with more money – it just means the state contributes less.
