Part 5- Wiki Group 5 Assignment- 1) determine the 2010 Local District Property Value (DPV), 2) the I & S Tax Collections, 3) the Chapter 46 (EDA) totals 4) determine which district has the most funds available to make payments on existing debt/school facility bonds //Because Property Values and Tax Collections are much higher, District 2 has more funds to //// pay down debt with the I&S Tax Collection of $8,836,256. Even though District 1 needs are higher due to economically disadvantaged and special needs/bilingual students, more money is available to District 2 for existing debt/school facilities. // Prepare a group conclusion on the possible condition of facilities in both districts and the potential impact on student learning, post to your Wiki and the professor’s cohort blog, and comment on at least two other cohort group submissions. //District 1 has a much lower tax base and would appear to be in a lower income area. ////District 1 will have issues improving and maintaining their facilities compared to District 2. The facilities in District 1 are most likely minimal and possibly in need of repair. Due to the lack of funds, District 1 will have a hard time ensuring student safety in their facilities if unforeseen problems occur or other improvements are needed in an emergency. For example, if the air conditioning breaks and needs to be replaced in August and there were scheduled upgrades for the school cafeteria, a superintendent would need to make a decision about which project would be the priority. With the high number of economically disadvantaged students in District 1, it is likely it would prove difficult to pass any bond to significantly improve the standards of the facilities. District 2 seems to have a much higher tax base, possibly from some industry in the area. District 2 at this time is financially stable, has extra funds if an emergency situation arises, and would most likely be able to support a bond issue for updates to facilities, if necessary. Comparing the two districts, the students in District 2 would have more opportunities within the classroom because the district is able to fund more cutting edge curriculum and technology program learning due to more M&O available to fund those learning advantages and professional staff to implement them. //
