"the Board will choose a level of property tax increase to set a target for (2011-2012) budget reductions and efficiencies"

Erik J Kass, Assistant Superintendent for Business:

The process outlined below is intended to provide adequate and timely information to the Board of Education and Community relative to the development of the 2011-12 Budget. This process will create transparency, credibility around data, and provide options for the Board of Education along the way. This process as you will see, also leans very heavily on the 5 year model worked on and completed by the 5 Year Budget Model Ad Hoc Committee.

The goal of this upcoming budget process is comprised of five phases: planning, preparation, approval/ adoption, implementation, and review I evaluation. The proposed timeline and list of activities below are aimed at meeting the goals for planning, preparation, and approval/adoption. It is important to note that all phases of the process will be completed by utilizing the PMA Model and its summary reports only. The proposed process and timeline are as follows:

The 2010-2011 Madison School District budget raised property taxes by about 9%.

Perhaps program reviews and effectiveness will inform 2011-2012 financial decisions.
