Jim,

 

 

By now you should have also received the certification files regarding this evening’s Board action to submit a revised request to the City to sell the former Malcolm X property.  Please let me know when you have received the information.  If there is any further information needed, please contact me as soon as possible so that you have everything necessary for your file.  Also, please let me know when this item has been scheduled for consideration so that I might share that with the Board.

 

Thank you for your time and help with this issue.  Please do not hesitate to contact me if I may provide any further assistance in this matter.

 

Below I have the District’s response to the question posed to you by Alderman Murphy:  What effect – if any – the alternative methods for funding the Malcolm X project would have on your levy?

The sale of the Malcolm X campus will not impact the current tax levy adopted by the Milwaukee Board of School Directors on October 29^th.

Any enrollment change in the 2014-15 school year has the potential to impact the FY15 tax levy. Any dramatic enrollment change in the course of a school year is mitigated by the State’s use of a three year rolling average which essentially softens the impact of year-to-year enrollment changes for all school districts. The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction calculated the current year allowable tax levy for Milwaukee using student enrollment from September 2013, 2012 and 2011.

 

Sincerely,

 

Lynne Sobczak
