5 Year Forecast Days Cash on Hand – This visual really highlights our need for additional support. Driven by our November 5-year forecast, this report shows to what kind of horizon we are heading. Given our current pace of deficit spending, we are staring down a forecast that projects we will be without cash on hand in just 3-4 years.

Assessed Valuation per Pupil – Our position/rank relative to the group is driven by our district’s Tax Effort Index (see below). In essence, this report reflects the extent to which our residents pay in supporting the school district (via taxes). This measure does in fact incorporate, to some degree, the taxpayer capacity. By being a “0.84,” the tax effort would indicate that, relative to their ability, our residents pay a lesser share of school district taxes than that of the state average (which would be a 1.00)
