June 2012 Dear MPS partners and friends, The budget plan we submit for the 2012-2013 school year is balanced and invests heavily in our strategic priorities, as we continue working to ensure that all students graduate from a Minneapolis high school ready for college and a career, prepared to excel in the real world. Our core strategies include raising expectations and rigor, transforming school leadership, strengthening teaching and exploring innovating models to accelerate student achievement. Minneapolis Public Schools has a more diverse, more mobile and more complex body of students than most school districts in Minnesota. We consider that diversity to be one of our greatest strengths. We believe our urban educational experience gives young people an edge in the competitive global arena. Yet this diversity also creates challenges and requires a commitment to closing the achievement gap. For the first time in six years, MPS changed the trajectory of the achievement gap, narrowing it slightly between students of color and white students. This is a reflection of the hard work of teachers, students and administration, but there is still work to do.
We must continue to invest in our schools and our teachers – ultimately, their success is tied to the success of our students. The school district has increased its total allocations to schools. We are making a set of strategic investments that directly touch classrooms to improve outcomes for our students, including:
Supporting quality teaching by building a robust teacher evaluation system to give teachers more useful feedback on performance Promoting great teaching and learning through focused instruction, including Response to Intervention, to engage students in the classroom Funding English as a Second Language teachers and additional supports for English Learners Funding reading and math specialists to ensure students grasp the fundamental skills needed early in their educational paths Providing additional support to the schools that need it most Investing in instructional leadership development because strong school leadership is critical to enhancing student achievement Maintaining class size targets to give our students the time and attention they need and deserve
This is the time to make even better use of our resources. Guided by our strategic plan, our efforts are beginning to show positive results in the most critical areas of need. We are eager to move forward and focus on the core of our work – providing high quality educational experiences for all students. It is paramount that we give taxpayers value for the funds that we receive. We are moving in the right direction, but we still must work to achieve financial sustainability. In addition to investing more resources directly into our schools, we are working to right-size the school district. Allocations to some departments have remained the same, some have been decreased and some have been increased. Right-sizing includes making investments in infrastructure and support systems to assure effective and efficient operations. Those investments include data systems, building instructional leadership capacity, senior leadership development, strategic planning and project management. Finally, the balanced budget relies heavily on the use of our fund balance. Unfortunately, we are using one time funds to address ongoing operational costs. As we begin planning for future years, we must continue our efforts to right size to increase efficiency and effectiveness so that we can continue to sharpen our focus on strategic priorities. We work to educate and care for over 33,000 students every day. MPS will continue to align the budget with the priorities outlined in the strategic plan, which directly impact our schools, classrooms and students. Ultimately, this will deliver the results we want for our students. Sincerely,
Bernadeia H. Johnson, Ed.D. Superintendent of Schools

Our Students Minneapolis Public Schools is a major urban school district with a diverse and complex body of students. Our diverse community is one of our greatest assets. We work to support over 33,000 students and their families from around the world who call Minneapolis home. We believe that our urban educational experience prepares students to become active, continuously learning and contributing global citizens. We are committed to assuring that every student graduates college and career ready. The following pages provide more information about the demographics of our school district and how they affect the financial state of the Minneapolis Public Schools: 1. After nearly a decade of decline, enrollment has turned the corner and is projected to increase. Over the next five years, intermediate grades are projected to have the greatest increase with declines in high school. In the following five years, middle and high school grades are projected to increase the most. The state of Minnesota uses a weighted student formula, providing different funding for students at different grade levels. The current weights are:
Kindergarten = 0.612 Grades 1-3 = 1.115 Grades 4-6 = 1.06 Grades 7-12 = 1.3
Revenue is based on a formula using Weighted Average Daily Membership. The school district reports how many students at each grade level are enrolled each day. Our revenue is based on the weighted average. The state uses an “adjusted marginal cost pupil unit” (AMCPU) formula to soften the impact of declining enrollment.

Our Facilities Resources that support the academic growth of our students and staff include the facilities that foster educational and professional growth. MPS owns and operates 78 sites comprising 8.4 million square feet in FY13.
50 elementary schools 10 middle schools 7 high schools 3 other academic sites 8 non-academic sites
Twelve currently closed sites total approximately 640,000 square feet.
Howe will reopen in August 2013. Five sites are leased and generating revenue: Franklin, Hamilton, Tuttle, Gordon and Lincoln. 807 NE Broadway (former Educational Services Center) and Webster will be vacated in the summer of 2012 and relocated to the Davis Center. Four sites are closed and vacant: Cooper, Northrop, Willard and Shingle Creek (pending demolition).
MPS has sold four sites in the last four years:
Morris Park: 2/4/2009 Putnam: 6/8/2009 Holland: 6/30/2010 Lehmann: 12/23/2011

The Davis Center MPS is excited to move its administrative service functions, currently located in four buildings across the city, to the new John B. Davis Education and Service Center at 1250 West Broadway, which was formerly Broadway School and MPS Student Placement Services. The Davis Center will be a community asset and a catalyst for growth, economic development and stability on West Broadway. MPS is pleased to have partnered with the city of Minneapolis to make this vision a reality. Moving to the Davis Center will provide the school district with cost savings over the long term. The annual operating costs of the Davis Center will be almost two million dollars less than the annual operating costs of the four existing administrative buildings. Over thirty years, the building will provide MPS with savings totaling $20 million. MPS is proud to announce that the Davis Center is in the process of obtaining the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold Certificate. LEED certification provides independent, third-party verification that a building, home or community was designed and built using strategies aimed at achieving high performance in key areas of human and environmental health: sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection and indoor environmental quality. Energy-saving strategies are critical to maintaining LEED status. The Davis Center will serve well over 1,000 students, staff, families and community members each day, housing Adult Basic Education classes, the Northside Welcome Center for families enrolling their children in MPS, testing for kindergarten and English Learner students, an assembly room for Board of Education meetings, professional development classrooms for MPS staff, a conference center and community meeting space.

Establishing the 2012-2013 Budget The school district establishes planning assumptions that set the parameters for budget planning. The planning assumptions and risks are defined below. The process for allocating general fund resources to schools and departments is described in the section on the general fund. Enrollment and Revenue Assumptions In making revenue projections, MPS assumed the following:
Enrollment will increase by 414 students, with the greatest growth in first through third grades. Continuation of current state law regarding funding. Relatively flat federal funding.
Expenditure Assumptions
Benefits continue to be budgeted at 31 percent.
The amount budgeted for the average teacher salary remained $66,412. As enrollment stabilizes and senior teachers retire, the average length of teachers’ years of service will decrease and the average salary should remain flat, in spite of increases in the salary schedule.
Actual salaries were budgeted for positions and Minneapolis Association of Administrators and Consultants (MAAC), Minneapolis Associations of Confidential Administrators (MACA), and Executive Leadership Team (ELT) contracts. Average salaries were used for all other positions.
Risks
Retirements and new hires may not be enough to hold the average teacher salary constant. Some labor contracts have not been settled and therefore labor costs are uncertain and likely to increase. Department budgets are planned based on history and projected changes. Factors outside the school district’s control will impact what happens (i.e. weather and fuel costs impacting utility rates). The federal government may reduce federal education funds in January 2013 by up to 19 percent.
10
Priorities Reflected in the 2012-2013 Budget The budget invests in the school district’s strategic priorities. Investments in the classroom:
Supporting quality teaching by building a robust teacher evaluation system Focused instruction, including Response to Intervention English as a Second Language Teachers and other supports for English Learners Reading and math specialists Support for high priority, turnaround, priority and focus schools Instructional leadership development Maintain class size targets
Investments in infrastructure and support systems to assure effective and efficient operations:
Data systems Building instructional leadership capacity Senior leadership development Strategic planning and project management
Contingency Two million dollars is reserved to make adjustments to school staffing based on student enrollment in the fall. An additional $1.4 million is reserved to manage variations in expenses as needs emerge.
11
Fund Balance A fund balance allows the school district to manage risk and to respond to unforeseen circumstances without having to borrow money. We assess risk to determine how large a fund balance MPS needs. If the fund balance is too large, we might be unduly restricting services for today’s students. If the fund balance is too small, we will not be able to manage risks. In general, the more risk a school district faces, the larger its fund balance should be. Examples of current risks are: Cuts in state aid; State aid funding shifts; Contract settlements; or Unusually cold winter with higher than predicted utilities costs. The fund balance can grow in two ways. The school district may plan to increase the fund balance when it is too low. The fund balance also grows if revenue exceeds expenses. In recent years, MPS’ budgeted expenditures have been higher than actual expenditures. Several factors can contribute to this type of variance, including changes in revenue and expenditure for grants and inaccurate projections for average salaries and benefits. Some funds are reserved by law in the fund balance and can only be used for specified purposes. The school district assigns some funds for specific projects or services. MPS policy states that the general fund unassigned/unreserved fund balance must be at least 8 percent of budgeted expenses, with an annual review to assess risk and increase the targeted level of fund balance, if appropriate. The amount of fund balance reserved for risk in the 2012-2013 budget is 12.5 percent. This provides enough funds for about six weeks of operating expenses. In the 2012-2013 budget, the school district is planning on using a significant amount of fund balance.

Resources committed by the school district to class size, early literacy, technology, textbooks, science and math. Programs funded with integration aid must support the goals of closing the achievement gap and increasing racial interaction. State statute identifies 10 uses for compensatory aid funds. View here. State Limited English Proficiency (LEP) funds must be used to support the education of English Learners. State and federal education dollars may only be used for special education services. Federal funds must supplement, not supplant, state and local dollars. Restrictions on use depend on the specific grant. Extended time dollars support credit recovery and academic support for qualifying students through afterschool and summer school programs.

School Allocation Methodology The school district defines core expectations for each grade configuration and provides each school with a budget allocation. The principal and site leadership team determine how to use the budget, based on core expectations and specific student needs and program priorities at the individual schools. View the allocations for each school. (Click on the “school allocations” tab at the bottom of the spreadsheet.) Allocations were determined using the process described below.
Per pupil allocations are based on a weighted formula: o K= 0.7 o Grades 1-8 = 1.0 o Grades 9-12 = 1.1 Class size referendum funds and basic per student allocations are distributed on a per pupil basis. High school Career and Technical Education (CTE) allocations are taken out of the basic per student allocation. Compensatory education is the full amount allocated to each site, based on the state formula. The state formula is based on students eligible for free/reduced priced meals as of October 1, 2011. EL allocations are 73 percent of the amount needed to fund the English as a Second Language teachers needed for the school, based on a ratio established by the Multilingual department. Schools are expected to use compensatory revenue or their basic allocation to fund the remaining 27 percent. Special Education Resource Teacher (SERT) allocations are 50 percent of the amount needed to fund the SERTs needed at the school, based on the contract ratio of 1:23 as determined by the Special Education Department. Schools are expected to use compensatory revenue or their basic allocation to fund the remaining 50 percent. MPS defined a minimum program for each grade configuration. o Funds needed were determined by adding the amount needed to meet class size targets and minimum program, EL and SERT requirements. o Funds available were determined by adding the allocations for referendum class size, basic per student, compensatory education, EL and SERTs. o If funds available minus funds needed resulted in a negative number, two steps were taken: Schools were given a minimal program adjustment to bring the difference to zero. Schools were given an additional per pupil adjustment to provide a limited amount of discretionary funds. Additional funds were allocated for specific programs and services, such as Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) and International Baccalaureate (IB). Some services that were previously included in school budgets, such as Check and Connect or Math Specialists, are being maintained but have been moved to department budgets in order to increase efficiency and quality control. Service levels for the schools will remain constant.
19
Department Allocations All departments were asked to develop strategic plans and then align their budgets to those plans. The goals were to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of services, increase investment in strategic priorities and move towards a sustainable structure. To accomplish these goals, the school district began the process of right-sizing departments. Some department budgets remained flat, others decreased and some increased. In all cases departments were asked to reevaluate priorities and assure that all resources were aligned to the most important priorities. View department allocations. (Click on the “department allocations� tab at the bottom of the spreadsheet.)
Relationship of School and Department Budgets The table on the next page displays the budget in four categories: 1) Direct allocations to schools; 2) Department allocations to schools, which are positions budgeted centrally but assigned to specific schools (examples include principals and building engineers); 3) Department allocations supporting direct services to schools and students are direct services to schools and students that are not associated with a specific staff person assigned to a specific school (examples include athletics, transportation and student activities); and 4) Direct allocations to departments are the remaining funds for operational functions that serve the school district as a whole (examples include Human Resources, the superintendent’s office and Payroll).

Community Services The community services fund is used to account for services provided for learning and involvement opportunities for lifelong learners of all ages, including Minneapolis residents. Community services funds are intended to provide K-12 students the opportunity to utilize educational facilities and programs during non-school hours, including the summer months. Fees may be charged for these programs. Community services revenue may also be used for educational programming serving adults with disabilities, schoolage care, Adult Basic Education (ABE), school readiness and Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE). The community education grant fund is also part of the community services fund and is used to account for the revenues and expenditures for activities related to certain grants and projects funded through state or other local outside agencies. Included within these numbers are the resources designated for nonpublic education. Actual FY 2010

Food Services The food service fund is a self-sustaining enterprise in which revenue and expenses are balanced over time. It is used to record all financial activities of the school district’s food service program. Food service includes all planning, preparation and serving of meals and snacks in connection with school and community service activities. Eighty-five percent of Food Service Fund revenues primarily come from federal sources. Food service revenue may only be used for food service programs. All expenditures related to meal preparation must be recorded in the food service fund. The majority of expenditures consist of labor and food costs (84 percent). Purchased services, supplies and equipment account for 16 percent of the fund’s expenditures. Eligible expenditures include application processing, meal accountability, food preparation, meal service and kitchen custodial service, according to Minn. Stat. §124D.111, subd. 3. Capital expenditures may be made from the food service fund only if the fund’s year-end restricted balance is greater than the cost of the equipment to be purchased and if prior approval has been obtained from the Minnesota Department of Education’s Nutrition Section, according to Minn Stat. § 124D.111, subd. 3.

Debt Service MPS policy places two limits on school district debt. 1. 70 percent of debt should be repaid within 10 years. 2. Total school district annual debt payment shall not exceed 15 percent of total operating revenue. Refinancing shall not be included in the 15 percent calculation. MPS currently owes $413,406,000. The school district will have repaid 69.8 percent by 2019 (seven years) and 74.3 percent by 2020 (eight years). Debt payments, less refinancing, are 11 percent of total operating revenue.
