• Study completed in May 2008
• Both MCS and SCS commissioned REDC to examine fiscal impacts of SCS converting to Special School District
• Did not consider impacts of consolidating or merging two districts

Multiple Scenarios Considered
• Two District Boundary Alternatives
• Two Local Property Tax Alternatives

Boundary Alternative 1: Constrained MCS Boundaries

Boundary Alternative 2: Expanded MCS Boundaries

Local Property Tax Alternatives
Property Tax Alternative 1 [Countywide Levy]
• Similar to the status quo
• Shelby County government would continue to serve as the primary local funding source for each school district.
• Shelby County government would continue to levy a property tax for education, and revenue from that tax would continue to be allocated to each district based on its average daily attendance (e.g., if Memphis City Schools has 70 percent of the county’s students, it would receive 70 percent of the revenue generated by the county property tax for education).
• The new Shelby County special school district would be able to levy an additional property tax within its boundaries as a supplemental revenue source.

Local Property Tax Alternatives
Property Tax Alternative 2 [District Levy]
• Shelby County government would discontinue using property taxes to fund the special school district and Memphis City Schools
• With the creation of a special school district each district would levy its own property taxes as a primary local funding source.

Property Tax Alternative 1 [Countywide Levy]: • The creation of a special school district would not necessarily create any new imbalance in
tax revenue per student between the two districts. Since property taxes collected countywide would continue to be distributed proportionately to the two districts, the countywide tax revenue per student would be remain equal for Memphis City Schools and the Shelby County special school district.
Property Tax Alternative 2 [District Levy]:• Would create an imbalance in the two districts due to the ratio of available tax base to school
enrollment that would exist in each. The district property tax base per student would be lower for Memphis City Schools than for the special school district. In the long term, this imbalance could subside if MCS experiences the declining enrollment that has been projected.
