Long-term capital project funds in 5 total years, can the district spend $100,000 or any amount available in the fund? Any dollars deposited in the fund can be spent when the 5-year waiting period is reached (fall 2022).
How would the recently revised city of Appleton property assessments affect a potential referendum? Recent property assessments will affect property owners differently depending on the municipality in which they live and if their assessment went up more/less than the municipality average.
Department of Revenue City Assessor
The DOR calculated that Appleton has 64.1% of the property value in the AASD. So, Appleton must pay 64.1% of our District tax levy. 64.1% of $69,809,000 = $44,747,595
your property value $44,747,595 total city property value
What is the State average as a percentage for schools when it comes to salaries and benefits? Approximately 71%
How much interest do we pay the city when we borrow to cover cash- flow needs? What is the interest rate? Over the past five years we have paid an average of $24,500 in interest to the City. The interest rate is 2% above the Federal Funds Rate, which is currently 2.25%.
How does open enrollment within the district financially impact either school? Each school is given a per student allocation. At the high school level the allocation is $91 per student, $109 per student at the middle level, and $83 per student at the elementary level.
Do you have data to show the number of students not attending their District “home” school? We do not keep this data.
We have noticed that many of our students with significant special education needs are students who have been accepted into our District through open enrollment. Is this something that is considered when accepting students for open enrollment? • No programs were open in 2019-2020 • K-12 ID, K-12 Vision, Middle EBD in 2018-2019 • Special PE and High School ID open in 2017-2018
Few people at my table understood weighted school funding. This concept is more abstract than class sizes, facilities, etc.

• Concerns about enrollment growth on the North side of the District. • Capital project requests from schools often cannot be funded through our yearly budget ($2,500,000). • Our schools were built for an outdated educational model.
1. What curriculum or programs are you currently delivering which are limited by the lack of space or that the type of space will not allow? 2. What curriculum or programs do you see a need to deliver in your school that the lack of space or that the type of space will not allow? 3. What supporting facilities are over-utilized or absent in your school? 4. Are there areas of innovation that will change the environment of your school?
