What will we talk about?
School funding formulas in Minnesota are complicated. The formulas determine not only how much revenue a district receives but also whether it comes from state funds or local taxpayers. This session will help leaders make sense of how the formulas determine whether the money comes from state or local taxpayers. We will look at specific district examples to show how the makeup of a district can dramatically change the calculations. This session will also be helpful to leaders looking to better understand legislative changes related to equalization formulas.
Who should attend?
Superintendents (particularly those of small to mid-sized districts), business office staff (with superintendents), and a school board member (if you have someone especially interested that you would like to accompany you as superintendent).
