001I pledge algiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Moving on to motion to approve the agenda as presented. Any discussion? All in favor say I. >> I. Opposed. Motion passes. Um, we do not have any recognitions tonight. I bound. >> We're good. >> FBLA will be recognized at the October one of the ones. We're hoping for October 6. She's still just trying to coordinate with our >> He has y >> Okay. Um this would be public comment time. We didn't have anybody sign up. So we will move on to number four consent agenda. Motion to approve consent agenda as presented. >> Second. Any discussion or does anyone want an item move to consider
002individually? Can I just ask a question? >> Oh, that's so teachers typical schedule is teaching five out of seven periods. Um because we had a last minute staff and you um someone took a position another place. We weren't able to fill that. Other teachers took on part of that teaching load. And so now someone's teaching six out of seven periods. So that's how we filled that and we weren't able to hire any coach staff. It spread it out amongst the other teachers. Anything else? All in favor say I. >> I oppose. Measurement passes. And student representation. Hi guys. I know you already have seen me cuz I was at the last one for Bella, but this is like my first one as the actual student rep. So, I'm Giana and I'm super excited to be
003doing this. Like I've always wanted to do this. Um, a little bit about me is I'm a part of Women of Will, Ed Rising, Pierce Peers, Malfatheta. Think of a club, I'm probably in it. Um, I'm also on the executive board for student council and I do lacrosse, tennis, and competitive water skiing. But now for what's going on in the district. So, at the elementary schools, they're having so much fun welcoming their new kindergarteners. And Lake showed their support for the Packers through a spirit day to kick off the season. Mrs. Harris, the Mil Valley principal, visited every classroom to share the theme of the school year, which is integrity as a part of the MV family. Both Mil Valley and Bay Lane's PTO are planning their color run fundraiser. While it is a fundraiser,
004it is also an event that brings the school year together together to have fun and make memories. And Mil Valley also completed a behavioral class competition to earn their class a ticket to the dance party with DJ Aadala along with the entire school taking an amazing drone picture. At the middle school, they're having so much fun with their new fifth graders. On September 11th and 12th, the student services team at Lake Denune facilitated a suicide awareness and prevention prevention presentation for students to equip students with information about the signs and risk factors of suicidal thoughts. Lake Denon also had their picture day on September 8th and 9th with all the students loving wearing their best outfits to schools. And both middle schools are also doing their I Ready placement testing all week. At the high
005school, over a 100 student mentors started the school year on a great note, hosting Warriors 101 on August 27th, welcoming all the new freshmen to the building and teaching them the ways of high school. The first week was also great with their club fair. This is an opportunity for people to ask questions about different clubs and sign up to get involved. The Warrior welcome is also coming up later this week, so parents can meet their children's teachers and know more about their classes along with talking to teachers that you might be interested in taking their class next year. Homecoming is also coming up next weekend, which is so exciting. So, student council has started their school and city decorating as well as finishing planning the pep rally and dance. Um, for clubs, Key Club is
006hosting the first ever ice cream social after school in the cafeteria on the 18th to promote the club. They're so excited to hopefully start a new tradition. As well as over the summer, women will had their first annual retreat in August. Over a 100 girls attended and they're focused on growing the club, which they are doing a great job at. For sports, girls tennis had a clean sweep against Oak Creek last week with all of their doubles and singles winning their matches. So, congratulations to them. Speaking of big wins, our football team had a huge victory against PWA 48 to7. And last week, which I forgot to add in here, I don't really remember the score, but it was definitely a large win. On the other hand, boys soccer had three very close games with
007one zero win against Franklin and one to one ties against both Hamilton and Kettle Marine. Boys soccer also had its youth night on the 9th to honor the future generations of the sport. >> Thank you. You're welcome. >> Where was the William >> the woman of will retreat? >> Yeah. Where was it at? >> Uh we just hosted in the cell gym but then we kind of walked all over the school and a little bit outside too. >> So it was local. >> Yeah. Got it. >> Any other questions? >> Thank you. All right, moving on to superintend. >> All right. Well, it is awesome to be back in the swing of things and having our students back in the building and getting our student updates. Um, it always fills our hearts with so much
008pride and joy when we get to hearing across the school system. And um your interest and desire to be a part of this group kind of exemplifies what we hope happens when students understand that your voice and your commitment to the work that you do is why we are here. seeing students shine and find great opportunities in the situation that we have here really makes us all proud. So, thank you and welcome and thank you students also for being here as members of our student council. Um, again, our whole job is to make sure you're having the best experience you can have. So, your active engagement and that is a really powerful thing. So, we are going to start out with our first agenda item which is an update on our public school. >> All
009right. So um I have information around summer school and again it is exciting. Um so uh this year um we have opportunities for students not just during the SLA weeks uh that SLA is running or summer school is running but we have lots of other things and opportunities going on over the summer that support um all sort of revenue that's coming into the district and generating the FTE. So, just to list a couple things going on, um, including inerson virtual opportunities, um, the power summer band, college essay class, connect academy, all sports academy, fab lab, swimming, volleyball, warriors 101, our, um, 4K through fourth grade student summit, which is an opportunity for teachers and students to meet one-on-one. Um, and then all the new enrichment classes that were run. So, we again hit an all-time
010high with 2,748 students um which transferred over into 264 FTE. So, there is a graph by year um in the agenda. Last year we were at 227 FTE. So, that was an increase for us again this year. So, really exciting. Thank you to all of our um associate principles, our summer school administrators, all the teachers and staff, um our instructional coaches are involved. So just a lot of hands go into the planning for that successful summer programming. So thanks to all of them um in another really exciting year. >> 200 is a lot. >> Like where did it come from? 200. Uh um just I think a lot of those additional enrichment classes, some of the new spaces at the high school brought new opportunities too. So we were running like culinary classes that we
011wouldn't have been able to before. Um so some of our bigger increases on here connect academy courses was pretty large. Um the MS power so sixth through 8th grade that was a big draw. Um so I think just the in another month those conversations start already of what are student interests and how do we continue to expand it. So >> yeah, also if I could add um when WIA took away >> um requirements >> um Ryan was able to pull together teachers to take on those practices which we then counted those practices. >> Okay, that makes sense. >> Was he was Let me just ask you a quick question. So, freshman year we have online health and online gym. Uh, do we do anything else that would count for core type classes um for students
012in later years? So, I know we don't do like language and things like that. Uh, but do we do an English class? Do we do a math class? Anything that would count for high school core? Reason I ask that is if you're in both band and choir and want to study hall because you need it, eventually you're going to run out of time, right? You because you need to take um um a form language right in there. So you need to backload it into the junior either year or you frontload it. So I'm just curious if we're from a helping students keep that study hall yet or is there not enough time? I mean, I know it's compressed time, so >> do you know? >> So, I can answer that. >> Okay. Sorry, I don't
013know yet. >> Yeah, you can repeat the PE class multiple times so they can get all their PE requirements out of the way. And the requirement of a foreign language is really one of the most common misperceptions of high school requirements. It's not a graduation requirement, right? >> There are requirements, right? >> Three colleges require it. It just so happens to be some of the more competitive ones. So, it's looked at as a um it's looked at as a plus. So, if you're not taking a world language, what are you taking in place to balance that out? So, it really depends and it's personalized to each student. There's a small handful of courses that students can take. If there's an online economics class, um but it's very few and it really does come down to
014the number of contact minutes we have to cover all the content. And there's a perspective that one of the reasons our district is so high performing is we have very rigorous curriculum in place and trying to get that curriculum covered over a summer school time slot isn't necessarily always apples to apples. So there's usually some reductions on some standards and some skills. So we've been pretty hesitant to try to cram all of that in. >> Okay. It's good to know about the um I've heard that colleges are less intense right now on the foreign language piece for so um and the college admission scheme has been really uh it's been fluctuating a lot still yet from the pandemic where they waved standardized test scores. They learned quickly that removing that piece of information was a
015semiuseful sorting tool from their standpoint of who may or may not be successful. As much as we can push up against that, um, an A in our school system might not be the same A as a different school system. So, from a college lens, they are still grasping at things to try to sift and sort when you're looking at 25 25,000 applications for 3,000 spots. Um, so unfortunately it really comes down to what are the things at each individual university that they've deemed are the best predictors of success when students in college. So good questions. >> Well, students can always start in an associate degree school and then transfer to a four-year school and skip the whole foreign language thing. >> And again, it's a small handful of schools that you require it as an
016admission. So it just is something that used to be very much looked at as a plus and now there are so many AP and CAP courses and transcript and credit courses or even research around a student who's in band required for four years actually statistically tends to do really well. So there's a greater awareness of the factors that lead to success. Okay, >> question two questions. Um, how are we tracking trends for average hours attended for these classes? Because mainly between one and four for the ones that are failing. >> Sorry, attendance. >> Well, like our utilization whatever like are we is it 2,700 students and a vast majority of them are just one hour or they multiple hours? >> I don't have the breakdown. Okay. Um, we I could ask about it. The SLA
017piece is newer to me, so there's still a lot that I need to learn, but we will be meeting as a team in October. And so I can just ask about utilization of what those schedules are looking like. >> Okay. And then the other one is um how many were in district versus out. >> These are in district numbers. >> Okay. You'll be in pulling any from all of our district. >> I would need to get that. I don't have that. 22. >> Julie says 22. >> Was that were they weight listed or were any of them still weight listed? >> Um it looks like we had a number of my residents entering 12 that participated and somewhere not online was 22 and we had two that participated and online two additional >> it says
018participating so it doesn't indicate that they were waiting list. >> Okay. All right. would be really hard to tell with like the mosquito power thing cuz kids come one day and not the other. >> I'm I'm thinking more in terms of like we dedicate resources at Baywing for that whereas mosquito power is more of a group setting. However many show up, however many show up and the coach is still going to do what they're going to do versus we have sections running essentially where we have them for 4 hours and we have transportation running back and forth for the shuttles and if we're >> they show up, don't they? We take attendance. >> Yeah, I would. >> Yeah. >> So, but you can opt in for just one or two hours and one hour and
019be picked up or whatever. So just curious to see like kind of it's in a data and numbers thing for me. >> Yeah. So is your question are they in for three sessions versus one session or so? Oh I thought my take on your question was are they participate like what is like the are they showing up at classes >> would be your question actually >> like they register and then are they showing up? >> Right. Right. Because it's summer time and >> right >> some classes. Right. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> So, just curious. >> Okay. >> I gather that information. >> Cool. >> Yeah. >> Any other questions? >> All right. Our next agenda item is more as an FYI at this point. I've been in multiple uh meetings with superintendent groups and
020uh the discussion around DPI's changes to the report card have come under a lot of concern and scrutiny. Um they've sent out multiple different communications to try to articulate the changes that they are integrating into this year's scorecard. um they've identified that rather than using the three previous years data which they've done historically for quite a long time, they are only going to look at two years worth of data. Um they are discontinuing last year's scale adjustment. Um their articulation of that was it was used last year to reduce the scale shock and norming of the distribution of schools. um and they are no longer going to be weighting achievement. It's going to be looking specifically at growth. Um these changes are creating a lot of stress and angst amongst the higher performing districts in
021our area. Um so they're not necessarily able to answer how it might impact us. Um, but they did kind of frame out that their end goal was to get the distribution of schools in Wisconsin to look similar to what the distribution of schools in Wisconsin looked like before the pandemic. So ideally in their ideal world, the distribution would be the same. So there are they did share that this year there are going to be fewer districts in the significantly exceeds category and likely fewer schools in the um onear category. So, not sure how that's all going to play out. Um, there are a lot of questions being asked by folks. Um, a lot of frustration, a lot of concern. Um, so I'll keep you informed as we learn more on that. That's due out likely
022in November. We should get our first look at our data um sometime in early October. We'll keep you informed on that. >> Separately, I don't think they they they know what it's like. >> We are our optimism is based on the data we have internally. So, in speaking with our administrators, we had a very good conversation at our leadership meeting last week, and the internal measures we have to be able to track student growth and achievement have been very effective and valid, and it's likely a foundational reason why our district has climbed so significantly over the last 10 years. Those structures are still in place. So, we're able to share our own version of what does our data look like internally. It's just hard to predict how that's going to be utilized on the state
023score. So, Yes. >> Trying to figure out how to say this diplomatically. Just say it. >> Well, I mean, you would think that superintendent would have some pull on how they talk to a DPI, but it seems to me like the DPI instead of using data to drive practices, they're trying to make the practice look the way they want it to look so that they look good. >> And and just like this is just ridiculous. I'm like, you're right. Like if you're a high performing school, you're not going to show as much growth as a school that's so low performing that if two people do better, ho, look how great you look. It's it it there's no scientific rationale or researchbased analytics that make any sense with that. And yet this is what's going on.
024And it just sad to me that that they don't listen to their educational real educational community that's out there in the trenches doing the work. That's all. >> Well, I appreciate our district's focus on our bottom cile. Um, that's the one space I'll continue to hang my hat on. The intentionality of our system is say every system has a bottom cortile. And though ours are performing comparatively, really well, we're still going to focus on how we grow those students. and you're accurate in that the growth may not be as significant in other areas, but we are very thoughtful and intentional to identify where are those groups that we might need to add a little something different to because we're in this just of continuous improvement. No matter how strong we are, we're always going to
025try to do better. So, appreciate the support. >> We're blessed because we have such great teachers and staff, great administration, great students, and we will do whatever we need to do no matter what. But you've got some schools that'll look at that and it'll make them look like they've done better and then there's no incentive to continue to work hard. I mean, it just it makes no sense whatsoever. One of my concerns is one of the best parts in education is collaboration and being able to look at a school that is doing well and going there to dig in and try to find out what have you been doing over this span of time to take your data from here to here. And as we continue to change the metric and the norms, it has
026become incredibly muddy to try to identify who is actually improving over this time span. So that's where I'm also grateful that we've got some pretty strong colleagues across our county that are um strong partners for us in the work that we do. >> I agree. I I like your take though that we do have a group of individual students that need a little extra help and that's where we should try to focus on trying to get them to be where the others are. I like that concept and we'll figure out the report card as it comes. So that was my update on the any other questions on the card. I made a comment about I was watching and feeling my bald spot grow as we were having conversations and meeting and all that trying my
027best. So I appreciate your hair blowing really well. >> So that brings us to the Wasby region 11 meeting. Just a reminder that coming up in October we will have our WASY region 11 meeting. Uh if you are interested in attending please let Miss Buckard know and we will get you registered for that. I will be in attendance along with Tracy and Terry. Um, if anybody else wants to go, just shoot us an email and we'll be there. >> Is that the fourth >> second Thursday? >> Thursday the second works. >> It's in Brookfield, so it's not too far. Any questions on that? All right. And then the final item in the superintendent report our contributions to the profession. I would just like to give a shout out to Miss Olsen who presented um at
028the National Association for Educational Services Agencies and shared about the importance of um helping onboard folks as they make a transition from district level to work areas. And um I know I'm biased, but as Scott mentioned earlier, we have some outstanding administrators. and when you choose to share your strengths and the things you've learned through this journey with other organizations, it's good for all of public education. So, thank you for your time and dedication today. >> Thank you. >> That concludes the superintendent's report. >> Oh, I'm sorry. One last thing of the highlights in the couple back to school weeks. I did forget to mention that our school board president was dressed up as a cow at a home football game as well for a fundraising opportunity for our community cow. A cow? Yeah, a
029cow like a real cow at Chick-fil-A looking. >> You don't have a picture of it. Didn't have it. Was it utterly delightful? >> My name is Moody >> for a great cause. So, thank you man to our board for serving our community in lots of different ways. This is a fundraiser to help those who are impacted by the flood. So, just appreciate all that you guys do for our community and >> today we need an official motion rules for this one. Uh it was like a pig inside my desk. Let me tell you that >> now that official report. >> Oh, all right. Other reports, president's report. Just welcome back. I feel like I haven't I feel like we had a meeting and we did have one last one, but it feels like maybe it's
030just morning this summer that's happening right now. Um otherwise, I don't have anything. Um I I do at the WSB at that regional meeting we will be electing a new director that will take um Brett's position that he had for a very long time. There's a confirmed person there now. So we will be voting on that and uh it's important that we get somebody in there that will represent us. >> You guys know >> I do. is the one that's sending out all the letters to >> they all did so far. >> I only got one. I only got one from >> I got one. >> So that there's somebody in their interim right now. She was here and that's the one I got. >> And then um maybe she only sent it by email.
031Um Karen, she's from Whitnull. And then there's a gentleman from K. So all three of them. >> I really So everybody did get that. >> Yeah. >> Um other board member reports. >> Well, please you and still under ASB with everything. The only thing I'll add is uh two things is I'm still going through all the webinars and all that stuff to get up to speed to get up to your guys' strength and levels. Um plus in addition to that their convention is January 21st through the 23rd in Milwaukee. So um my intention was still for a day. I just have to figure out which day >> you can go the day that they have these Wednesday is the day. >> Okay. >> Wednesday is the day that you do all the voting. So, >>
032okay. >> If you can't do it that day, then let me know because we'll help the sun movement. >> And I have every intention of going on October 2nd because I fit in my time >> and thank you for continuing to review those videos. Um, I watched those stepping you into this role and it's a lot of time, but it's a lot of good learning. >> They are so exciting. >> It's so great. I did the in person, but since I was like I don't think they can do online. >> Well, I guess white. >> I mean, online it doesn't bother me. You know, I actually learn better apparently online person. So, I'll take it. >> But that's all I got. >> Sending the emails out. Everybody's getting them. Do we have I just curious
033um when when I sent it to the board there's a group board email. Is there one for the executive like for Todd Courtney? So I keep adding all of you guys on. I just didn't know if there was one particular group. >> Cabinet. >> All right. Moving on to committee reports. There's none. Not one. We're all It's all coming around. We're all getting back into the swing. So, there were no committee committee meetings. So, there's no reports for those. So, we'll move on to number nine, resolution action items. Um 202526 preliminary budget. >> Motion to approve the 202526 preliminary budget as presented. Any discussion? >> I did add a few more documents um just to finish the difference between um the 202425 year and 202526. Um just looking at some of the key factors and
034the assumptions that were used to build the budget. Um so again, we still got the $325 per student. Um, our overall revenue limit went up about $523,000. Um, we are still waiting for our pupil count, which will come in um next next week, Friday 19. Um, that's the third Friday count, so we'll have that. Um, we did see an increase in our summer school pupil count numbers, and why that number is so important is because those FTEEs count in that three-year rolling average um for our student count. So, we do get um the $11,650 per per FTE for each of those additional FTEEs. Um the October equalization aid will come in October 1st. We are estimating it um right now to go I'm sorry, October 15th. We are estimating it to go down slightly. If
035you recall the way that the state budget was built this year, um the um a majority of the funds were put into the special education reimbursement, which is helpful to us because that's actually new spendable money. Um that's less money we have to transfer into the special education fund um and we can maintain that. However, um when they did that, in addition to growing the revenue limit authority, they gave us no new state aid. So really um the growth in the revenue limit pi is primarily held on the back of the taxpayers. Um and so we'll see that as we go through into the tax levy. Um voucher amounts if you remember voucher the voucher program we get the money in the tax levy and then we send it out. So it's in as a
036revenue and in as expense. It's a really a net zero to us. Um the impact of that but we do see it on the tax levy side. Um those amounts went up per student. Um we are um keeping the FTEES for voucher students flat right now. Um but we are putting just about $1.1 million um of taxpayer dollars through that program. On the tax levy side, we are looking at um our fund 10 levy going up about $1.3 million. Um fund 39 has like a $325 um increase which we can adjust that if we need to. Uh, fund 41. Again, fund 41 is our $750,000 capital project fund. If we didn't have that levy, those funds would roll into fund 10. So, it's not like if we eliminated that, we would have to eliminate all
037of Jeremy's project budget and it would not reduce the levy. So, we don't want to do that. Um, and then fund 80, we maintain a small levy for our open source program that we have there. Um, our prior year chargebacks. Um, I have to adjust that number. We just got that number in. But again, those are we're allowed to increase the revenue limit by the amount of taxes that we collected for, but people in the community didn't pay. I think the CFR is $62. So it's pretty minimal. Um so that number has to be adjusted. >> Not the 2700. >> No, the 2700 I apologize was last year. So it was 205. So that would be uh we are looking at equalized valuations um going up about 5%. Last year they went up by.4%. Um
038we are starting to see some numbers come in on the equalized value side for Mosquito for the municipality at 11%. So um when the equalized valuations again go up the mill rate and more people will see per thousand actually goes down. So um we're estimating 5% it will likely be higher than that. And then we have per people categorical aid that we get per student at $742 a student um will remain. and our total categorical aid is 3.4 million and that can adjust again based on how our um enrollment is looking. We are projecting that enrollment um for now until next week and then we'll know for sure. We also included the very exciting um preliminary budget with all funds that we can go through line by line if you would like or um I
039did provide the summary the general fund summary um also for the preliminary budget. So again we're looking at about a $64.6 million budget. Um, our school levy is anticipated to increase by 3.96% and we'll talk a little bit more about that and how net new construction will affect that. Um, um, our mill rate is looking to go down slightly. Um, and the average tax impact on $100,000 home is about $576. And again, that's already what's being taxed. It's not new tax dollars that are going into the levy. >> And how does that compare to last year? I can tell you one second. Last year we were at >> She's cooking >> $582. So if we've gone off, it's going to be pretty significant this year, right? Like with the with the new assessments that came
040out. >> New assessments. >> If the new assessments came out, however, um depending on what the average assessment is, cuz this happened the year that we it was 5 years ago, right? Every 5 years we have to do it. um if your assessment on average goes up um what the average municipality is like we can't levy more right so our 30 we're we're levying 34 million but because people's assessment went up they're going to take a bigger piece of that but it's not like we're adding more and more and more to levy it's going to go up slightly like the two we'll talk about it's about two and a half% that it'll go Um, so people will see an impact on the assessed side, but from an equalized perspective, it's not dollar for dollar, if
041that makes sense. >> Yeah. But I guess my point is is that the assessment has gone up pretty materially this year. >> And um if the average impact has only gone down about $10 per 100,000 and several I mean the the the increase I think in some cases was $100,000 right over that. So we're talking about increases of $500 to $750 in taxes to somebody for the last year, right? Think about that. >> Yeah, we can do some I can do some examples if that's helpful. Just pull some tax bills and um look at the overall impact that this potentially would have >> because the equaliz rate didn't go down significant, right? So I mean the argument if I'm thinking about this right please correct me if I'm wrong but you know in the summer
042when all the assessments came out there was a everybody pause right because that doesn't equate to that average increase in taxes but then the hope was that the mill rate would then come down even further almost to cancel that increase out right think about that right but it's not the mill rate is not coming down as significant as the assessment Correct. >> Correct. You are right. I'm just looking at if um I just want to look at the mill rate number in the event that that 11% comes through. So the mill rate if if the equalized value which it's what's out on do's website right now at 11% um if that comes through our mill rate will drop 5.57%. So that would be a little bit more of a help on that side. >> So
043you're still talking about a 5% increase in actual taxes, >> right? If if if the value has gone up 11%. Miller rates gone down 5 and a half, you're still at a 4 and 5% increase in actual dollar of taxes, >> right? So, but I think what we have to keep in mind though is our levy, let's say our levy isn't going up at all, right? We levied 32 million last year. We're levying 32 million this year. Everybody's assessments went up. >> Yeah. >> So, we're spreading that, but it's being spread like that same number is being spread. If it's not applied the same, right? Because if your assessment went up and let's say our levy impacted you and you're paying $3,000 for school taxes, your assessment went up but our levy didn't. You're not
044going to pay 5% more of what you paid last year, right? Because so it depends on what the assessment looks like. And >> it's because our levy has also gone up. >> Our levy has also gone up 3.96%. Yeah. >> And we'll talk about how that'll go down just a little bit in the next item. Cuz what was it two years ago? >> Cuz it was zero for like eight years. >> Well, it was it was zero for a number of years because the state put money into the categorical aids and not the revenue limit, right? >> When they started putting money back into the revenue limit, that's where we started to see the increase to taxes. So, um 23, >> I think it was 2023 where we saw the big hit and then 23
04523 24 we saw 8% was a big one but with the levy credit and the net construction it came in at about five I think with the actual >> um last year was 2.52%. >> Um and actually I believe with the net new construction and the school levy credit that actually went down to it was negative for some down 1%. depending on where you felt and sex values. >> So, the thing to keep in mind um and the the frustrating part is for so long we focused on having that negative um and we were able to do so because the way that the state was funding schools and the state has shifted how they're funding schools and without putting money into the equalization aid to support that increase that they're continuing to give us. They're
046saying, "Okay, here you can have more money, but you have to ask your taxpayer. I mean, you have to give it to the taxpayers to to fund it. It's not coming through state aid, and that was the first year that they've done that this year in a long time. So, we didn't see an offset of that. Um, for us, I feel um based on where we will likely end up, we're relatively lucky. I mean, other areas um other school districts in our area are seeing almost double digit increases. So depending on where you were in the formula and how that the state aid the value of that state aid impacts you, it could have pretty significant repercussions that tax for other people. >> Can you remind me how many more years we have left on
047the loan for um mosqu eggs? Where are we at with that? >> Oh, hold on. >> I got didn't think that was going to suffer. Nothing usually says about that too. >> So 10 years. >> 10 years. Okay. >> 10 years. Um however, we may see some opportunity for defeasence this upcoming year. So we'll talk a little bit more about that too. So that could drop a year down to nine. >> No, that was a 20-year loan. >> Any other questions or discussion? All in favor say I. >> I. >> Opposed. Motion passes. >> 202526 preliminary tax levy. >> Motion to approve the 202526 preliminary tax levy as presented. >> Second. >> Okay. Discussion. Okay. Okay. So, when we um last year we were able to talk about the tax levy credit because the state
048put more money into the actual pot to increase that amount of money. It was not put into the budget this year to increase the tax levy credit. So, we will still see a tax levy credit. Again, the school levy credit is the dollar. It's a pot of money that municipalities are given directly to reduce the impact of school taxes. We don't see that number. Um, and it doesn't come out until probably October. Um, so I don't have what our levy would potentially be reduced by, but again, that pot of money is based on the state spending and the calculation that they do across the state and the impact directly to you. So that number could fluctuate for us and could help us for the better. Um, net new construction in Mosqu went up 1.17%. So
049what that means is we could we can levy about $393,000 more without the taxpayers feeling the impact. When you calculate out the difference between what our increase is currently the 1.3 and that 393,000 that leaves us with a total tax increase of about 938,000 or 2.79%. So what people will actually see less the reassessed um component of it, the 2.79% is what we would be going for um and what people will likely be seeing based on on average where they're at with their values. If we get closer to the annual meeting and have more information on the tax levy credit and how that could impact us, the better we can I'll definitely bring that forward as well. And we always have that number before our annual >> I usually have it at the meeting at
050the annual meeting. Yes. If we did it at the first meeting in October, I can always bring back an update as well. Um town of Norway's now new construction was 68% and city of New Orle was 76. So depending on the municipality that number will change slightly. Any other questions? All in favor say I. >> I. >> Opposed. Motion passes. Uh 9C.
