Our community is passionate about children and understands the power of an excellent public education. Our guiding force as a school district this year – and through 2020 – will be our new Mission and Vision Statement, Value and Belief Statements, and Priority Goals: Our Vision: To become a high performing district of choice that reflects the cultures of our diverse community. Our Mission: Futures depend on us to inspire and prepare every child, every day, by providing relevant, engaging, and innovative learning experiences in and out of the classroom. Our Core Values: In the Sun Prairie Area School District we…  value the diversity of our community.  value the experience and wisdom that each child brings to the learning community.  believe in providing a welcoming, safe and nurturing environment.  believe in supporting the social, emotional and academic needs of every child to help them reach their full potential.  believe in inspiring our students and workforce to be lifelong learners.  believe that developing critical thinking and analytical skills will prepare students to become engaged and productive citizens.  believe in teaching ethical behavior and modeling character.  believe in creating a passion for teaching and learning.  believe in preparing students to thrive in a dynamic future.  value and support a highly qualified, diverse and culturally responsive workforce.  believe that collaborative partnerships with students, parents, teachers, staff, businesses and the greater community lead to educational excellence.  believe in continuous improvement in our pursuit of excellence.

District leaders recognize and honor your investments. We pledge to use them to the best of our abilities toward every student learning, growing, and succeeding, and by publicly committing to high student achievement, system-wide continuous improvement and sound stewardship of community resources. We deeply appreciate the generosity of this community in continuing to invest time, talent, and financial resources in our schools and children.

SUN PRAIRIE AREA SCHOOL DISTRICT SUN PRAIRIE WI 53590 SPECIAL MEETING OF THE ELECTORS NOVEMBER 12, 2013 7:00 P.M. MINUTES 1. School Board President Tom Weber calls the meeting to order School Board President Tom Weber called the special meeting of the electors to order at 7:09 p.m. The meeting was held in the auditorium at Cardinal Heights Upper Middle School, 220 Kroncke Dr., Sun Prairie. President Weber read the notice of meeting that was published in The Star on November 1 and 8, 2013.

2. School District's attorney reviews procedures under which the meeting will be conducted and qualifications for voting School District's attorney reviewed procedures under which the meeting will be conducted and qualifications for voting. Attorney Mike Julka attended the meeting as parliamentarian and to act as counsel, if needed. He explained that only the three items on the agenda may be considered and acted on this evening. Those who vote must be electors of the school district, a citizen 18 years of age or older, a U.S. citizen, and a resident in the District for at least the past 28 consecutive days. Anyone wishing to speak should step to a microphone, wait to be recognized by the Chair, and state his or her full name and address. 3. Election of chairperson to conduct the special electors' meeting Al Guyant, 1176 Virdon Dr., Sun Prairie, nominated Tom Weber as chairperson. As no other nominations were made, Tom Weber was elected Chairperson on a voice vote. 4. District Presentation on Busing District Administrator Tim Culver reviewed an informational PowerPoint on busing. (Attached) 5. Questions & Answers on busing presentation District Administrator Tim Culver explained that the purpose of the meeting was to get more community input on the walking/busing distances that were changed at the Annual Meeting. Questions & Answers on Busing Presentation Middle School Busing Questions The following electors had questions and comments about the busing issue: Mark Brehmer, 475 Sherbrook Dr., Sun Prairie 1. How did we determine costs for this year? Phil Frei - Prorated for January 6 start of new routes. This year $238,572; next year $429,000 + 3% inflation per year for 3-year contract. Page - 11-


2. Why wasn't cost for this year added as well as the annual cost? Phil Frei - Wanted to be sure everyone understood what the ongoing annual cost would be. 3. How did the district equalized aid and Act 46 change the budget? Phil Frei - Decreased the levy. 4. If anything changes tonight, is it too late to change the tax levy for December? Phil Frei - The final levy already includes the prorated busing. And if the busing distance changes again tonight, the Board can decide to reallocate or put into fund balance if the money is not used for busing. Karen Follman, 1184 Dynes Way, Sun Prairie - Does this require a vote to go beyond the tax levy? Tom Weber - Our district typically goes below the maximum levy, so no need for a referendum. Jenny Hanson, 671 Broadway Dr., Sun Prairie 1. Did the sheriff evaluate the intersection at Hwy C and Windsor (Hwy 19)? 2. Was the construction on Hwy 19 accounted for? Phil Frei - The Dane Co. sheriff came and reviewed the area and reaffirmed that it is not unusually hazardous; this is the 3rd time they have reviewed that area. Tom Weber - Unknown about construction. If there is concern about results of the review, this can be appealed to DPI. 3. Has there been any option to look at changing the start and ending times of schools to alleviate the need to purchase extra buses Tom Weber - It would be difficult to change start/end times for this year. Something we could look at for next year. Mark Brehmer 1. Do we have anyone here from the sheriff's department? Is district aware there were 2 accidents on Hwy 19 that knocked down signs? Tom Weber - No, district was not aware of that. We don't track accidents around the district. There is no one from sheriff's department present at this meeting. 2. Is sheriff's department aware of age of these kids when making their study? Phil Frei - DPI sets the criteria. 3. Who provides crossing guards? Tom Weber - The city provides all our crossing guards. Chris Pappathopoulus, 3184 Nelson Rd., Sun Prairie - Why is busing cost more expensive than Union Cab corner service ($3.5O per student)? Phil - The district-wide cost per student is less. We bid out our transportation. Rob Thomas, 2969 Pebble Valley Ct., Sun Prairie - Was there a breakdown of age levels of anticipated riders, as expects only half of high school students would ride the bus. Phil Frei - We know that 12th graders hardly ever ride. We factored in the ratio of those we think would ride for high school and middle school.

Page - 12-


Kris Dreifuerst, 2819 Northwynde Psge., Sun Prairie - Can you give us a breakdown on riders? In future years we may need fewer buses. Phil Frei - We will most likely need the same number of routes in future years. Dee Sercye, 603 Broadway Dr., Sun Prairie - Buses are overcrowded on some routes, and the bus routes need to be reevaluated anyway. Is that going to add to the cost? Phil Frei - New routes should take care of the overcrowding. Chris Astrella, 744 Bluestem Ct., Sun Prairie 1. The budget is already certified and money for second semester is already in the budget. If we decide tonight that we don't want to approve the busing change, would the money be reallocated and where? Tom Weber - Yes, to surplus fund balance. 2. If this doesn't pass, will our property taxes go down next year? Tom Weber - If no changes are made tonight, money is already in the budget. Can't say if taxes will go down next year. If money is not used for busing, probably could end up in fund balance or pulled back into next year's budget to provide relief. Carolyn Johnston, 514 Park Cr., Sun Prairie 1. Would the decision tonight affect the students requiring transportation related to an IEP? 2. Would this decision affect the activity buses? Rhonda Page - IEP busing is not included in decisions made tonight. There will be additional stops added to the activity bus routes. Charles Leduff, 1013 Bethany Ct. Sun Prairie 1. What are the benefits of reduced walking distance? Could you elaborate on safety concerns that parents have? Can we get reports related to safety concerns? Tom Weber - Any benefit is in the eye of the beholder regarding concerns with crossing some of the busier streets in town. There are reports that were done as part of the Safe Routes to School assessments that are available for review. Rob Thomas - The money is already encumbered, so tonight we are here to decide how we want that money spent? Tom Weber - The only thing we are able by law to discuss tonight is the busing distances. Dee Sercye - How many routes are we planning to add for overcrowding, and what is the cost? Phil Frei - Cost is $39,000 to add 1 route for overcrowding. Kay-Tee Franke, 3064 Bull Run, Sun Prairie - started to make a motion and was stopped by Tom Weber to allow all questions to be addressed. Shawn Thomas, 2969 Pebble Valley Ct., Sun Prairie 1. How was the 1.5 mile walking distance decided? Were other community busing distances considered? 2. What about elementary bus routes and walking distances. Is this also on the table? Tom Weber - The busing distances in place were 2.0 and 2.5 miles. Phil Frei - Reviewed a slide of data from other districts. Tom Weber - Tonight is only to consider middle school and high school distances. Page - 13-


Tatiana Schneider, 1492 Chipper Ln., Sun Prairie 1. Did you look into relationship between education & busing/walking to school? 2. Would we require seat belts on buses? 3. Any plans to increase taxes? Tom Weber - Currently we don't require seat belts but you could talk to Phil or Rhonda. Pat Fassbender, 436 Clara St., Sun Prairie - Are bus costs totally subsidized by our school district? Do parents have any responsibility for busing costs? Tom Weber- We get some state aid for unusually hazardous busing, but we can't share the cost with parents (but they can contract independently). Barry Burns, 2121 Effingham Way, Sun Prairie - If you already came up with a budget, why do you need us to be here tonight? Was there public input with the original proposal? Tom Weber - The motion at the annual meeting had a sizeable impact on the budget, but the attendance here tonight is greater than at the annual meeting. The School Board has no say in busing distances, it solely rests with the electors of the district. 2. Will this topic come up again next year? Tom Weber - It will come up if a citizen brings it up. 3. Is there any way to freeze this for 2-3 years? Tom Weber - By state law, we can't do that. Jenny Hanson 1. What are the costs to implement? 2. What is the capacity of a bus? 3. Will the district survey to know how many students plan to ride? Phil Frei - Bus capacity is 75 elementary (3 to a seat) and about 50 for middle and high school (2 to a seat). We will be sending a letter to all potential new riders (middle school/high school) and ask if they plan to ride this year. We plan to survey all students next year to plan ahead for routes. Christine McDonough, 877 Schuster Rd., Sun Prairie - commented that she was concerned about the student safety comments. Dave Queiser, 6313 Devonshire Ln., Sun Prairie 1. How much longer will student have to be on the bus? 2. Will students need to transfer buses? 3. Will there be additional costs for bus monitors? Tom Weber - We try not to have students on the bus longer than 1 hour. We will have shuttles (which don't affect the high school) but no transfers. No additional bus monitors are planned. DeeDee Collette, 1616 Sunfield St., Sun Prairie - Students who live greater than 2.0 miles from school are subsidized for transportation, so are we subsidized now for the students who live between 2.0 and 2.5 miles and are not bused? Phil - No. State aid is based on students that ride the bus. We need to count daily ridership. John Dooley, 1124 Dolan Dr., Sun Prairie - Asked if he could make a motion. Tom Weber made a last call for questions. There were none. Middle School Busing Eligibility Page - 14-


Motion by John Dooley, 1124 Dolan Dr., Sun Prairie, second by Barry Burns, 2121 Effingham Way, Sun Prairie, to change middle school busing mileage back to the original of 2.0 miles. Discussion on the motion: Carol Kemmerer, 571 Tower Dr., Sun Prairie - 2.5 miles is a long way to walk when it's cold and raining. Would you walk 2.5 miles to work? Motion by Al Guyant, 1176 Virdon Dr., Sun Prairie, second by Kay-Tee Franke, 3064 Bull Run, Sun Prairie, to call the question. Motion to call the question carried by a show of hands: yes - 237; no - 8 Request for a ballot vote was overruled by the Chair. Vote on motion to change middle school (grades 6-7) busing distances back to original 2.0 miles from 1.5 miles. Motion defeated by a show of hands: no - 182; yes - 93 Motion by Al Guyant to adjourn the meeting. The Chair ruled the motion out of order as the notice of the meeting was for three items of business. Motion withdrawn. Upper Middle School Busing Eligibility Motion by Chris Astrella, 744 Bluestem Ct., Sun Prairie, second by Rob Thomas, 2969 Pebble Valley Ct., Sun Prairie, to increase upper middle school busing distance from 1.5 miles to 2.0 miles. Discussion on motion: Chris Astrella called other districts (Stevens Point, West Bend, and Manitowoc) and they all set busing distance at 2.0 miles. He supports this motion. Motion by Kay-Tee Franke, 3064 Bull Run, Sun Prairie, second by John Whalen, 2064 Lynnwood Dr., Sun Prairie, to call the question. Motion carried Vote on motion to increase upper middle school from 1.5 miles to 2.0 miles. Motion defeated by a show of hands: no - 150; yes - 87 High School Busing Eligibility Motion by Jeff Weigand, 210 N. Bristol St., Sun Prairie, second by Randy Bouzek, 230 Tower Dr., Sun Prairie, to change high school distances from 1.5 to 2.5 miles. Motion defeated by a show of hands: no 127; yes - 79 Discussion on motion: Jeff Weigand - Does not want more bus routes, this is not a safety issue. Getting students to school on time is the parents' job. Rob Thomas – We need a limit at some point. Safety is not an issue to increase busing. Al Guyant – This is about getting kids to school. The district spent $300,000 on hockey without any reaction, but bussing is overwhelming. Tom Weber – The $300,000 was a one-time payment to pre-buy ice, and it is projected to save the district over $1 million.

Randy Bouzak – High school kids need to take responsibility. Kids won’t ride the bus. There has got to be a limit. Timothy McCarthy. Walking is good for health. Rob Thomas – Health and responsibility – high school students need to take responsibility. This is not about education, it is about transportation and taxpayer money. Deidre Rohr, 5217 Aspen Way, Madison – These are our students, our children. Kids shouldn’t have to worry about how they will get to school. Not all families can afford a car or can drive their kids to school. David Richmond, 2349 McCoomsky Ln., Sun Prairie - This is $429,000 + 3% per year. Christine McDonough, 877 Schuster Rd., Sun Prairie - In defense of our students' safety and the remarks about responsibility, we need to ensure our students get to school safely.

Motion by Jennifer Hanson, 671 Broadway Dr., Sun Prairie, second by Mark Brehmer, 75 Sherbrooke Dr., Sun Prairie, to change high school busing distance from 1.5 to 2.0 miles. Shawn Thomas - Supports this motion. Julie Lipke, 6663 Ridge Point Run, Sun Prairie - There is about a 1/2 mile distance between upper middle school and high school. Putting busing at the same distance could possibly require fewer buses. No further comments. Vote on high school busing to change distance from 1.5 to 2.0 miles. Motion defeated by a show of hands: no - 96; yes - 88 Motion at 9:17 p.m. by Michelle Perko, 459 Sherbrooke Dr., Sun Prairie, second by Al Guyant, 1176 Virdon Dr., Sun Prairie, to adjourn. Motion carried

REVENUE ASSUMPTIONS This section reviews the planning assumptions supporting the revenue budget for the 2014-2015 school year. The revenue budget summarizes sources of money for the upcoming school year. Past state legislative sessions have brought significant changes to the funding of public schools, which are evident in the district’s budget. Wisconsin Act 16 instituted revenue limits for local public schools. The revenue limit determines the amount of revenue a school district can generate based on the number of students served. The student attendance on the third Friday in September is used by the State of Wisconsin to determine our revenue. This means the final school budget is established one month after the beginning of the school year.

Royal Oaks Elementary School

KEY ASSUMPTIONS 1. The budget is calculated with the revenue caps as of August 30, 2014. 2. The budget is calculated based on an 8% increase in equalized aid.

3. Under current revenue limit calculations, the district recommends a tax that is $1.4M under the state revenue cap. 4. The property tax base (equalized valuation) is estimated to increase by 2.5%. 5. The tax mill rate is projected at $12.83 per $1,000 of property value, a decrease of 2.44%. 6. Based on the enrollment projection by UW-APL, the budget was based on 60 new PK-12 students.

Page - 30-


EQUALIZED VALUE AND TAX MILL RATE Each year municipalities (cities, towns and villages) report assessed valuation data on properties located within their boundaries to the State of Wisconsin Department of Revenue (DOR). The DOR collects this data and submits an equalized valuation report for property tax purposes to taxing jurisdictions (schools, cities, towns and villages). Then, in the case of public schools, the school district determines the property tax and sets the tax levy based on a municipality's total equalized valuation. Key Terms 

Property Valuation

The dollar value placed on land and buildings for purposes of administering property taxes.

Assessed Valuation

The property valuation determined by the municipal (city, town, village or county) assessor as of January 1st in any given year.

Assessment Ratio

The ratio of assessed to equalized valuation.

Equalized Valuation

The assessed valuation multiplied by an adjustment factor computed by the Wisconsin Department of Revenue to cause each type of property to have comparable value regardless of local assessment practices.

Tax Mill Rate

A rate expressed in mills of tax per dollar of property value (e.g., $30.00 per $1,000 value).

TAX LEVY DEFINITION The levy is the amount of tax money that needs to be generated to fund the general budget and debt service fund. The general fund levy is determined by the state revenue cap formula. The debt service fund is the revenue needed to pay off building project bonds. The levy divided by the district’s equalized value equals the mill rate.

STUDENT ENROLLMENT One of the most important pieces of data for a school district budget is the enrollment. The district contracts with the University of Wisconsin’s Applied Population Lab (APL) for 10-year enrollment projections, which are based (in part) on birth rates. Table 1 shows the last ten years’ enrollment and the projection for the next five years. The projection shows a growth of 60 students, and for budgetary purposes the number 60 was used.

DISTRICT STAFFING Staffing in the Sun Prairie Area School District is divided into four major categories and is listed by fulltime equivalency (FTE). FTE represents the amount of employee time assigned to a program or service. For example, a teacher scheduled to teach full-time is listed as a 1.0 FTE, while a teacher scheduled to teach one-half of an instructional day is listed as a .50 FTE. The “teachers” category includes all certified staff and, in an operational sense, reflects all instructional staff within the professional educators. The “support staff” category includes employee groups such as clerical staff, instructional staff, special education assistants, playground and health assistants, secretaries, facilities and grounds workers, school nutrition workers, accounts payable staff, and technicians. The “administration” category includes building principals, assistant principals, and employees that serve in an administrative capacity on a district-wide basis. The “administrative support” category includes staff that support business services, technology, food service, student services, human resources, instructional services, and district administration. Substitute teachers and student interns are not listed in the district FTE reports.
