2010-11 Payable tax levy fund update
The Board of Education voted to set the maximum 2010-11 Payable tax levy fund at $122,230,862. Tuesday's action does not ensure that the District will be requesting the full amount, which also translates into an approximate 9.4 percent increase from what was paid last year. Instead, the action sets the maximum amount that the District may set. The Board of Education will take public feedback in the coming weeks before setting the final levy increase. To view Tuesday's PowerPoint presentation, which includes reasons for the increase and a timeline of the upcoming important dates regarding the levy, click here.
Charter school authorization update
The Board of Education voted to not apply to be an authorizing agent for charter schools. The vote does not mean that charter schools which Saint Paul Public Schools authorizes this year are closed for this year. Rather, it means that beginning in the school year 2011-12 school year, Saint Paul Public Schools will no longer be an authorizing agent of any charter schools.
Capital Bonds update
The Board of Education voted to approve the list of Capital Bonding projects for the upcoming year. A list of the approved projects will be available in the coming days by clicking here. There also will be regular updates to this list indicating the progress of each project.
Human Resources update
Among the Human Resource updates presented Tuesday were a change in a position for Andrew Collins who now serve as the Assistant Superintendent, Leadership Development and Turnaround Schools.
