Of the District’s total general fund revenue in fiscal year 2018-19, $92,825,646 or 39 percent of revenue is derived from local sources, and $142,470,126 or 60 percent of revenue is derived from state and federal sources. The district utilized $2.03 million of excess fund balance to balance District's 2018-19 general fund. This was .86 percent of the total general fund budget. Property Tax In accordance with Idaho law, ad valorem property taxes are certified to the Board of County Commissioners in September for each calendar year. The District uses the modified accrual basis of accounting for recording property taxes. Property values have continued to increase from their decreased values during the recession, thus allowing the District to increase the amount that can be certified for the general maintenance and operation portion of the budget and remove the temporary supplemental levy that was approved by the voters in 2012. The maintenance and operation tax requested for the general fund is $11.6 million more than the amount certified in 2017-18. A large portion ($4 million) of the increase will be transferred to the plant facility fund to cover increased construction costs. The Board continued to maintain a stable levy rate for the collection of taxes necessary to pay debt service obligations related to general obligation bonds sold for facility construction and maintenance. The amount to be certified for the Debt Service Fund will allow the levy rate to stay at 0.07 percent for 2018-19. Interest on Investments Interest is earned on funds the District invests. The State’s Money Management Act states that the entity shall invest its funds based on these principles; 1) safety of principal; 2) need for liquidity and 3) yield on investments. The District has an investment policy that follows these three principles. The District primarily utilizes the State of Idaho investment pool to invest District proceeds, managed by the State Treasurer. The current investment market is at an all-time low for interest earnings. The District anticipates receiving around 2.2 percent from the State Investment Pool in 2018-19. The investment pool has continually invested in safe assets therefore reductions in investment market value have been minimal during this economic downturn. As rates rebound, the District will look for other investment options to increase earnings within the confines outlined in Idaho Code for investing activities. The District has entered into a money management agreement for the bond proceeds to be managed by Clearwater Investment Services. It is anticipated the bond proceeds will earn interest around 2.1% in 2018-19. Other Local Revenues Other local revenue comes from five main sources: tuition charged to participants in special programs, rental of facilities, donations, miscellaneous grants, and Medicaid billings. The District receives tuition from students for summer school programs, night school program, and behind-the-wheel driver education programs. Tuition is also received from other Districts to allow their students to participate in specialized programs offered within our District. Other local revenues include fees for community education, Just for Kids childcare tuition, and full day kindergarten tuition.
