Why Not District Funded?
• Revenue Limit per Student– Green Bay - $9,292
– Madison - $11,227
– State Average - $9,884
– If Green Bay was at the state average, we
would have $12M of additional revenue
each year

Why Not District Funded?
• Fund Balance– Green Bay - $41.4M
– Green Bay - 19.0% of expenditures
– State Average - 22.6% of expenditures
– Needed for cash flow borrowing due to delay in equalized aid and property tax revenues
– Reduced borrowing amount from $25M to 10M

• City of Green Bay and Brown County do not have same restriction
