25. MinnSPRA: School Finance Questions And Answers support, which includes the cost of operating media centers,; exceptional instruction Thebottom line is that minnesota school districts typically spend about http://www.minnspra.org/qa.html

School Finance Questions and Answers 1) Who determines the amount of money schools receive? The state determines how much money a school district will receive. The state sets funding formulas that both allocate money to the schools (state aid) and determine the maximum amount a school district can request from their voters through local property taxes (referendum). The state also decides what portion of funding comes from local property taxes, state aids and student fees. Think of school funding as a piece of fabric. The state determines the maximum size (amount of funds), threads (property taxes, referendum and state aid) and design guidelines (mandates to pay for certain things) of the fabric. Each school district then determines the pattern (budget) of the educational fabric. 2) Why were so many school districts forced to make large budget cuts this year? Lower-than-expected state funding (revenue) coupled with higher-than-expected cost increases (expenses) stretched many 2002-03 school budgets. Education costs are simply increasing faster than the money provided to pay for them. Increasingly, schools are expected to do much more with much less. In an effort to maintain programs and class sizes for students, a record 180 Minnesota school districts offered referendums to their voters in November 2001 asking for additional revenue. Short timelines made it difficult to build public understanding of recently enacted school funding and property tax changes. The backlash from a failing economy and Sept. 11 also affected people's willingness to support increased funding of any sort.
