Wisconsin Act 16 implemented Revenue Limit legislation beginning with the 1993-94 school year. This district-specific computation is based on, among other items, the district’s enrollment changes, the Consumer Price Index, and the district's prior year controlled revenue.

Using an algebraic formula, each district computes a dollar amount that will be the maximum amount of revenue it may raise through state General Aid, Computer Aid and property tax for the current year. Districts must use the Department of Public Instruction’s (DPI) October 15 General Aid Certification and Computer Aid amounts to determine their current-year levies for the General (Fund 10), Non-Referendum Debt (Fund 38), and Capital Expansion Fund (Fund 41) so as to not exceed their maximum Revenue Limit amount.

Due to the complexity of this calculation, the School Financial Services Team (SFS) provides assistance to districts by publishing on the internet an Excel Revenue Limit computation that is pre-populated with actual district data on file at the DPI. It is imperative that districts review what is displayed in this file, as their records may differ from information at DPI. When additional information becomes available, the SFS Team will upload a revised Excel file using the new data elements.

This RSS feed will deliver immediate notification to a user’s news aggregator whenever a change is made to this computation on the School Financial Services website.

Overview of School District of Osseo-Fairchild Energy Efficiency Projects Goals:1.Help control energy expenses, 2. Be environmentally responsible, 3. Optimize the health, safety and comfort of students and staff Attaining Goals:1. Redesign existing buildings for efficiency, 2. Interrelated and interdependent processes and systems that keep buildings functioning includes HVAC, electrical/lighting, mechanical, controls, operation and maintenance. Projects to help us meet the goals:1. New boiler in Osseo Elementary School (move operating efficiency from 65% to 96%), 2. Replace original fiber ductwork in Osseo Elementary School with new metal ductwork (increase air movement efficiency by 20%), 3. Replace outdated pneumatic controls with Direct Digital Controls (DDC) throughout the district, 4. Replace one 80% efficiency Fairchild Elementary boiler with a new boiler with up to 98% efficiency, Keep the other for backup. 5. Large space energy controls throughout the district. These areas include gyms, auditorium, commons areas. Cost of around $150,000 with a $50,000 payback per year. (3 year payback) This is the largest energy savings of all projects and should be done first so we save the energy costs already this winter. 6. Lighting upgrades in bus garage and Fairchild gym. Also, occupancy sensors throughout the buildings in designated areas where energy savings would be the greatest. Total Energy Savings when projects are completed: Existing Proposed Annual Savings $171,471.67 $106,968.99 $64,502.68 37.62%  Passed 6 to 0 on 10/22/2012.

Be it resolved that the school district of Richfield Joint No. 1 is
exercising its taxing authority under s. 121.91 (4) (o), Wis.
Stats., to exceed the revenue limit on a non&amp;#8722;recurring basis
by an amount the district will spend on new energy
efficiency measures and renewable energy products for the 2012-2013 school year. The amount to be levied and expended is $23,600.00.
The board has identified the following required
performance indicators that will measure the energy
savings and/or energy cost avoidance in an amount equal to
the exemption request and will include a timeline:

DDC Controls Upgrade – Pre Project Air Compressor Hours, Pre Project Air Compressor Power Consumption, Pre &amp; Post Temperature Dependent Heat Loads, Pre &amp; Post HVAC System Efficiency, Pre &amp; Post Space Heating Requirements and Schedules
Unit Ventilator Replacement – Pre &amp; Post Temperature Dependent Heat Loads, Pre &amp; Post HVAC System Efficiency, Pre &amp; Post Space Heating Requirements and Schedules
Hot Water Control Valve Upgrade – Operational Savings from avoidance of air handler related maintenance &amp; repair costs

The anticipated avoidance of annual utility and operational costs is $1,769.00. The anticipated overall project payback is 13 years.


An evaluation of the energy performance indicators will be
included as an addendum in the required 2013-2014 published budget
summary document per s. 65.90, Wis. Stats., and in the
school district’s newsletter or in the published minutes of
the school board meeting.

These projects will be to install occupancy sensors and replace incandescent fixtures in the locker rooms with fluorescent fixtures.  In the high school gym install occupancy sensors and override switches. In the bus garage replace old lighting with more efficient fixtures.  
This will save energy in all the above areas because of the more efficient lights and the lights will be off when no one is present.  We should see a reduction in the electrical cost at the high school and bus garage.

Be it resolved that the school district of Minocqua J1 School District is exercising its taxing authority under s. 121.91 (4) (o), Wis. Stats., to exceed the revenue limit on a non-recurring basis by an amount the district will spend on new energy efficiency measures and renewable energy products for the 2012-2013 school year. The amount levied and expended is $283,500.00. The board has identified the following required performance indicators that will measure the energy savings and/or energy cost avoidance in an amount equal to the exemption request and will include a timeline: An estimated annual savings of $22,800.00 per fiscal year. This will be in the form of energy savings and maintenance cost avoidance. The payback time will be approximately 12.4 years. Monthly energy bills will be monitored for changes in energy consumption and the building and grounds department will have monthly reports on maintenance avoidance as a result of the energy project. Savings will be calculated based upon reduction in energy. A cost analysis of electricity and natural gas use will be used to determine the energy efficiency of the project. The scope of the project will is broken down into four parts. The first part is the replacement of 41 windows.  The new windows are aluminum and thermally broken.   They are insulated and made with low-E glass.   The second part of the project is a new rubber roof on top of the gym and commons.  The new roof will have extra insulation and be mechanically fastened to ensure of no heat loss or water leaks.    The third part of the project is new lights in 25 classrooms.   We will be taking out 514 light fixtures and replace them with 270 low watt high efficiency lights.   The final part of the project is to install a DDC Control exhaust fan with a variable frequency drive in the kitchen. An evaluation of the performance indicators will be included in the 2013-2014 school year published budget summary document per s. 65.90 Wis Stats., and the school district’s newsletter or the published school board minutes.
