Data & Impact on Aid

  • Pupil counts, Wealth  Impact aid
  • Review and Verify
slide-6
SLIDE 6

Transportation, Building and BOCES Aid Ratios

 Wealth Based

 Aid Calculation =

Approved Expenses x Selected Aid Ratio

 Ratio for poorer districts > ratio for wealthier

districts

 Selected Aid Ratio – varies for each aid

category

slide-7
SLIDE 7

Transportation Selected Aid Ratio: Greatest

  • f 3 Wealth Adjusted Aid Ratios

 Ratio 1: RWADA Aid Ratio =

Full Value per RWADA State Average FV per RWADA

(RWADA = Resident Weighted Average Daily Attendance)  Ratio 2: Selected Sharing Ratio =

Full Value (FV) per Pupil and Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) per Pupil State Average FV per TWPU State Average AGI per TWPU

(Pupil count is: Total Wealth Pupil Units or TWPU)  Ratio 3: Enrollment Wealth Ratio (EWR) =

Full Value per Resident Student State Average FV per Resident Student

(Includes resident students enrolled in public and nonpublic school)

Transportation Aid – Calculation #1

(RWADA = Resident Weighted Average Daily Attendance)

Where do the numbers come from? – ACTUAL VALUATION (FV)

 Assessed values verified with OSC  Form submitted to OSC by July 15th via online process  2013-14 values used for 2016-17 aid ratio calculations

slide-11
SLIDE 11

Where do the numbers come from? – RWADA

 RWADA = Resident Weighted Average Daily

Attendance

 2017-18 RWADA Aid Ratios

 Based on 2015-16 attendance/enrollment data

 Found under 2016-17 ATT Output Report (Line 96)

slide-12
SLIDE 12

Where do the numbers come from? – RWADA (continued)

12  Components of RWADA include:

 Form A:  Equivalent attendance students - Entries 14&15  Resident SWD in BOCES programs – Entries 25-27  Resident SWD in Other Public Schools – Entries 55-57  Resident Non-disabled students in Other Public Schools - Entries 59-61  Schedules A2 and A4  Schedule U  Schedule B

  • Non-resident students included in ADA numbers are deducted as

reported on lines 62-64 of Form A

 The “Weighted” in RWADA is applied to secondary level student

counts reported. The 7-12 ADA numbers are multiplied by 1.25

slide-13
SLIDE 13

Your District vs. The Statewide Average

13

 Aid ratios are generally impacted by a district’s

wealth per pupil relative to the statewide average.

 Aid ratio may decline if a district’s wealth per

pupil measure is increasing more than the state average.

  • Information from lines 15 and 16 of respective TRA Output Reports

2014-15 2015-16 2016-17 2017-18 District AV/RWADA 593,721 585,091 696,925 661,945 Statewide AV/RWADA 680,900 680,400 681,700 702,400 District RWADA ratio 0.850 0.859 1.022 0.942

slide-14
SLIDE 14

Transportation Aid – Calculation #2 – Selected Sharing Ratio for Operating Aid

14

 Uses Combined Wealth Ratio (CWR) as basis.  CWR compares your district’s property wealth

per pupil and personal income per pupil to the statewide average.

 Pupil count is Total Wealth Pupil Count

(TWPU).

 TWPU count: The same elements as the

RWADA but includes additional weighting for special education students (1.70 for 60% SWD and 0.90 for other SWD counts).

Transportation Aid – Calculation #3 – Enrollment Wealth Ratio

16

 Uses all resident students as the pupil count

basis for determining a district’s wealth relative to the statewide average.

 For districts with significant student population

that attends private/parochial schools this may generate the highest aid ratio.

Information from the IMA Output report provides the sources of this student count.

Maximum Cost Allowance for Capital Projects

slide-32
SLIDE 32

Maximum Cost Allowance (MCA) Calculation Changes

32

 Maximum Cost Allowance = is the maximum

amount of actual construction and incidental expenditures which are aidable under Building Aid.

 Computed by multiplying Building Aidable

Units (BAU) by the most recent regional cost factors and construction project cost index amounts associated with the contract award date of the project.

SA-130 Shows MCA

$17,604,738 + $4,252,280 = $21,857,018 MCA Note: SA-130 issued after SA-139 submitted

slide-34
SLIDE 34

Maximum Cost Allowance

34

 Covers a five year rolling period of time  All projects with Commissioner approval dates

within five year period are included

 Issue –

FP-F or Final Cost Reports (FCR) Amounts?

 New method now

slide-35
SLIDE 35

Five Year MCA - New Method

 MCA on a new project will be calculated at time of

submittal

 Will use FP-F estimated costs (if no FCR) or FCR amounts (if

done) on previous projects with CAD within 5 years

 Will use current estimate of new project  Amounts in excess of final 5 year MCA go into OFP

project management system as a deduction and is used by the State Aid Unit to determine building aid

 Decision is FINAL per Facility Planning

 No adjustment for older projects with future FCR < FP-F  No adjustment for this project

35

slide-36
SLIDE 36

Example of MCA Calculation

36  $10,000,000 MCA, 1 project with CAD within 5 years with FCR with

$1,000,000 in costs. New project is estimated at $9,500,000. So…

Projects within 5 years 1,000,000 New Project per FP-F 9,500,000 Total 10,500,000 MCA 10,000,000 Over – minimum portion without Building Aid 500,000 Projects within 5 years 1,000,000 New Project FCR 8,750,000 Total 9,750,000 MCA 10,000,000 No change in amount disallowed for aid 500,000 If final cost are $8,750,000:

slide-37
SLIDE 37

MCA – New Method

37

 Facilities Planning will check each project’s

MCA against 5 year look back when approving

 SED will review FCR against MCA for

individual project only

 We suggest districts ask for MCA estimate

during planning phase of new projects

 Plan, plan, plan!

 Coordinate timing of FCR of older projects  Coordinate timing of submittal of new project

Property Tax Cap – Updates/Common Issues

 Building Aid for Water Testing/Remediation –

not part of Capital Exclusion

 Update prior year factors?  Full use of Capital Exclusion  Updating calculation throughout year

 Up until when?

 Tax Base Growth Factor changes

 PILOT Legislation?

 BOCES capital exclusion

PILOTS

42

 PILOTS receivable – use best estimate  Once an amount is entered, we recommend,

carrying it forward and using in the subsequent year.

slide-43
SLIDE 43

Carryover

43

 A district has carryover available for the

coming year if it levies less than the “Tax Levy Limit” BEFORE exclusions are added.

 If a district does have a carryover amount, it

is part of the following year’s calculation.

 It cannot be ‘saved’ for a future year.

 Entering information into the portal is the best

way to determine what, if any, carryover is available for your district.

Capital Tax Levy Exclusions

45

 This is the local share for eligible capital

expenditures that a school district incurs.

 Eligible Costs – Related State Aid or Previously

Collected Local Funds = Capital Levy Exclusion

 Guidance Document a:

http://www.p12.nysed.gov/mgtserv/propertytax/taxcap/docs/Property_Tax _%20Cap_General_Guidance_and_FAQS.pdf

provides further details of eligible expenses and related items to deduct from the eligible expenses.

Future Capital Exclusion Planning

48

 When you look at the components of the tax

cap calculation, the only item that you as a district have direct control over is the Capital Exclusion.

 Due to its nature, (based on debt service and

building aid to a large degree), it is likely that there may be significant fluctuation in the exclusion in some years.

 We recommend maintaining a 5-year forecast

  • f the Capital Exclusions.
slide-49
SLIDE 49

Questions to Ask

49

 Do you have a bus replacement schedule?  How do you pay for your school buses?

 Cash or borrow?

 Do you have new capital projects in the works?  Do you fund capital projects with a Capital

Reserve?

 How will you match up debt service with

expected state aid?

  • 1. Have a debt schedule through to maturity of all debt.
  • 2. Prepare a schedule of building aid for all projects currently receiving building aid.
  • 3. For new projects work with a financial consultant to project debt service and aid.
  • 4. If your district has funds in the Debt Service Fund look at using that to offset years

when debt service and aid may not match up.

What Happens if a District Exceeds its Tax Cap?

54

 If a district levies a tax that is greater than the

calculated allowable tax levy and does not ask for and receive the required supermajority, then the excess funds collected must be put into a reserve (deferred revenue).

 The excess is used to reduced the tax levy in

the subsequent year.

 In year three, the excess funds that were

collected then need to be added back to the calculation.
