EDLD 5342 Week 3 Part 2

Revenue per WADA@Compressed Rate:

District 1: $5,044

District 2 : $7,206

Total target revenue for the M & O: This is calculated by multiplying the WADA by the WADA@Compressed Rate:

District 1: 28,023,530

District 2: 34,546,111

Total number of teachers, librarians, nurses & counselors in each district.

District 1:    618 x (8%+43%)=315

District 2:   560 x (6%+47%)=297

Both districts have the same number of Total Teacher FTEs when looking at the chart. However, it is important to look closer at the information. The chart lists the total percentage of each category which can be added and together and then multiplied to the Total Staff FTE to calculate the number of teachers librarians, nurses & counselors in each district. In this scenario, District 1 has more staff members in order to meet the needs of their students.  District 1 has a much higher property value than District 2. Both districts have the same compressed tax rate.  However, the amount of money that each district receives from their M&O collections is vastly different with District 2 collecting much more. In this case WADA failed.
