The Honorable Board of Education
School District of Washington

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Introduction
The School District of Washington is proud to have received the Association of School Business
Official International’s Meritorious Award again for our FY12 annual budget. After a few years
of community engagement work, reorganization, and heightened communication we wanted to
portray a budget that reflected the hard work of our staff and community. Many times,
budgets are just for people who enjoy numbers and seek the bottom line; however we wanted
to develop a budget that reflected our philosophy and served as the cornerstone of our
strategic plans. The School District of Washington strongly believes that all students deserve to
learn and grow. We also believe in the continual improvement of our staff, programs, and
services. The FY13 budget keeps our mission, goals and priorities at the forefront.
The School District of Washington realized much success in the 2011-2012 school year and
presents a budget that shows how we have been proactive, responsible, and focused on the
continued success of our District. Washington has many things to
be proud of as you can see from our list:
 District executives continued the Washington Way
Initiative which again called for community leaders, staff,
and parents to come together to shape the future of the
District. Community Focus Group 2 worked on the
strategic short and long term plans for facilities.
Approximately fifty individuals participated in this collaborative process. This work was
followed by a bond proposal which was placed on the ballot in April 2012. An active
Citizen’s Committee worked to promote the proposal which required a tax increase,
asking voters to approve a $0.46 increase to the debt service levy in order to realize a 65
million dollar bond issue for new construction and renovation. Unfortunately, the bond
issue failed by 12 percent. The group is now determining when to put the measure back
on the ballot. This fall we will begin with a new group, Focus Group 3 which will focus
on improving student achievement in the age of advanced technology.
MISSION
The School District of
Washington is committed to
high quality education with
world class results.

Introductory
Student Achievement
The School District of Washington will meet all Annual Performance Report (APR) indicators
with High 1 status.
Community Engagement
The School District of Washington will increase the involvement of students, parents, and
community members in the education of its youth as measured by meeting attendance logs
and presentation/meeting evaluation forms.
 Washington High School increased their ACT composite score from 22.1 to 23.3, again
scoring above the state average.
 The Washington High School leadership students raised $25,000 for the American
Cancer Society by hosting a Children’s Relay for Life. Over the course of the last seven
years, this relay has raised over $125,000.
 A record number of Washington High School students participated in the United Way
Door to Door Drive this school year, collecting over $7,000 in just one hour.
 Washington High School has been elected State Student Council and will host the state
meeting in March 2013.
 Washington Middle School Student Council earned the Gold Honor Award given by
MASC.
 Washington High School Worldwide Youth in Science Engineering team earned second
place in the state.
 Due to the passage of Prop S, a 15 million dollar no tax rate increase bond Issue in 2010,
the District has made significant upgrades to HVAC, fire alarm, and intercom
communication systems in four of eight elementary building, as well as the high school.
These projects will be 100% complete by October of this year.
 In the February 2011 article of Missouri Life, Washington, MO was listed as one of the
top 10 towns in Missouri. Round one methodology for Washington’s fourth place finish
centered on the quality of education. Considerations were given to areas that had
public schools with superior standards for academic excellence and thus referenced
Missouri Assessment Program’s Highest Performing Schools.
 Washington, MO, was chosen by the National Trust for Historic Preservation for the
2012 Great American Main Street award.
 Elementary school teachers implemented Pathways to Reading and Balanced Literacy to
improve reading and writing instruction and improve student learning.
There are many more success stories from the past school year, but now our focus is on the year
ahead. Our previous success and our anticipated future success can be attributed to our
dedicated staff. Continuous improvement of teaching and learning remains our number one
priority, as outlined in our District goals and the pursuit of excellence in the areas:
Student Achievement
The School District of Washington will meet all Annual Performance Report (APR) indicators
with High 1 status.
Community Engagement
The School District of Washington will increase the involvement of students, parents, and
community members in the education of its youth as measured by meeting attendance logs

Facilities, Support and Instructional Resources
The School District of Washington will develop a short-term and long range facilities
plan along with long range plan/growth prediction to base future facility and budgetary
needs.
Safe, Healthy and Nurturing School Environment
The percentage of students, parents, and staff who rate the School District of Washington
as safe, orderly, and nurturing per the SDOW rating tools will be 90% by 2013.
Governance
The School District of Washington will govern by providing effective leadership with
strategic plans that benefit the students, staff, and patrons of the District.
The District’s Comprehensive School Improvement Plan can be found at
www.washington.k12.mo.us for public viewing. This plan outlines specific actions and strategies
that have been identified in each of the above goal areas. As mentioned, the Washington Way
Initiative called for community leaders, staff, and parents to come together to shape the future
of the District.
Much of our focus group work has centered on very specific topics such as literacy, 21st
century
learning environments, appropriate interventions for all learners, and professional learning for
our teachers and leaders who serve our students. Although the economy has not yet
rebounded, we are pleased with our budget and recognize that our proactive approach has put
us in a position to reach our goals.
Due to previous reductions, reorganization, and many changes in processes and procedures, we
are happy to present a budget that the Board of Education can be proud of. Now, this is not to
say that our approach will be anything less than conservative in the future. There is still a great
deal of uncertainty where the state of Missouri budget is concerned and assessed valuation has
made only a slight increase. We are preparing to take a second attempt at passing a bond issue
proposal (tax increase). We must make classroom space, program efficiency, and wireless
technology infrastructure/use a major priority for the good of our students. With this said, we
know that further reductions and continued reorganization will prevail if the bond issue fails a
second time. Failure will mean additional modular trailers for classroom use, facilities that are
not properly maintained and technology that is not accessible to our students. With little
revenue growth and increased expenses as a result of the bond issue failure, additional cuts will
be necessary.

Introductory
From 2008 - 2011, the School District of Washington cut expenses by nearly 4 million dollars.
Much of the budget reductions were necessary due to the lack of revenue growth and our
inability to keep up with increases in expenses. The economic conditions have not improved
significantly; therefore the District is continuing to be extremely conservative in the area of
budget planning even though proactive measures have benefited the District. Due to the
passage of Proposition S in August of 2010, we have been able to take care of capital needs as
well as pay off some leasehold certificates, thereby alleviating some pressure in our operational
budget. Additionally, we have been able to continue working toward competitive salaries and
benefits for our employees. With some unmet goals still topping the priority list, reductions are
again looming. It becomes very difficult to meet the needs of our students, especially in the
area of classroom construction, when the debt service portion of our tax levy sits at a mere
$0.2985.
Budget Summary
The School District of Washington has been very aggressive in the past few years. In 2009, the
district projected a multi-million dollar deficit. Fortunately, the District has re-positioned itself
to be in a much better position to handle shortfalls in revenue and potential withholdings from
the state. The 2011-2012 operating budget realized a surplus of two million dollars to end the
fiscal year. This surplus is a result of the realization of improved tax collections. Additionally,
the ending balances were reflective of about $800,000 in purchase orders which were not
liquidated. This is indicative of the conservative approach our budget administrators are taking
in preparation of what could be several more years of budget concerns for school districts. It
should also be noted several question marks still exist for school districts in the state of
Missouri. Much of the uncertainty is relative to the current economic conditions; however,
some of the concerns also stem from current law as well as proposed legislation from the
previous session that could be re-filed in the upcoming year.

Assessed Values

The FY13 state budget calls for 3.5% revenue growth in order
to end the year with a balanced budget. School financial
experts seriously doubt such revenue growth will actually
occur and therefore worry again there will be insufficient
appropriations made to the school foundation formula. In
laymen’s terms, this means the state will not have the money
to fund the phase-in of the formula, consistent with the last
several years. The problem lies in there are no provisions in
the law indicating what is to be done when the appropriation
payments cannot be made from the state to school districts.
In recent years, the Department of Elementary and
Secondary Education has simply withheld payments to school
districts by utilizing simple percentages withhold across all
districts. This is not likely to be a tactic used in the future if
there isn’t enough money to fund the formula as established
by SB287 in 2006. Changes to the formula may cause
devastating losses in state funding for school districts all
across the state. For our District, the proration will mean a
slight drop to the flat funding from last year’s state foundation formula, when an increase in
funding was expected. Our 2012-2013 budget is projected to end in nearly a balanced position.
Revenues are projected to end at $49,337,215, while expenses are expected to total
$54,785,108, resulting in a reserve balance of 38% (cash balance less debt service and capital
projects).
Additionally, school district officials have been told to expect flat assessed valuation. This loss
results from limited economic development, a failing housing market, and unemployment in
our area. It will remain extremely important for the School District of Washington to budget
wisely as we may have to rely on reserve balances to survive the unknown. Although this is a
viable option in the short-term, for the long term, the reserve balances dwindle quickly thus
causing a need for additional cuts in services.
A great deal of potential legislation in Missouri could prove to be financially devastating for
school districts as well. The School District of Washington cares deeply about school
improvement; therefore, we totally support initiatives that position our students to be globally
competitive in the job market. We also know unfunded state and federal mandates sometimes
necessitates creative budgeting. However, school districts can only reorganize their budgets so
much and thus creative strategies are nearly exhausted. We are getting to the point where the
only creativity we have is to generate revenue.
VISION
The School District of
Washington is a premier
educational center
promoting lifelong
learning, uniquely
committed to the academic,
physical, emotional, and
social well being of ALL
students. We excel in
student achievement, the
implementation of
researched best practices,
the continuous
improvement process, our
productive use of
technology, and
partnerships with parents
and community. Our
success is realized in the
quality of life of our
students and community.

Introductory
It is good to be aware of the ways in which school districts are funded. First and foremost,
school districts are funded differently throughout the state. In Washington, our revenue mainly
comes from our local effort (our local tax base). For example, approximately 71.4% of our
revenue comes from our local tax effort, 16.7% percent from the state of Missouri, 6.2% from
the federal sources, 3.1% from the counties in which we reside, and 2.6% from other sources
such as tuition.
Because the payroll and bills exceed the state payment to the District each month, it is
necessary for the District to maintain a healthy reserve balance so as not to borrow money for
those expenses during the months of July through December. Healthy reserve balances are
also necessary to handle unforeseen circumstances such as disasters, poor economic conditions
or revenue stream instability. In addition, the reserve balance also plays a very important role
in the District’s bond rating. This particular rating is important to investors when school
districts gain approval from the voters to issue bonds. It is significant for the District to have
investors who can feel safe about their investments. Considering the School District of
Washington will pursue a bond issue in 2012 or 2013 as anticipated and recommended by
Focus Group 2 (Long Range Facility Planning Team), our bond rating is important.
The review and development of the 2012-2013
budget was completed after several meetings with all
school leaders who influence the budget in some way
or another. Following is a detailed budget
development process, complete with a timeline and
budget administrator responsibilities, which serves as
the developmental framework of the annual budget.
The School District of Washington is very strategic
about accomplishing our mission, vision, and goals.
Therefore, the process of alignment exists at all levels
of the budget development process. We know that
without adequate alignment of resources to
priorities, our mission could not be realized.

The Budget Process and Financial Management
Over the course of the last three years, the School District of Washington has worked to
present a school budget that not only emulates financial policies but also serves as a
comprehensive document that offers patrons a transparent, purposeful, user friendly way to
become familiar with school finance and specifically the budget of the District. The budget
provides explanation as to the probable expenditures and anticipated receipts during the fiscal
year and serves as a very important legal document. The Chief Financial Officer and
Superintendent reiterate the nature of the budget in that it is to be considered a working

Page 8
document that changes based on budget amendments throughout the course of the year. As
financial data becomes available and projections become reality, the data changes respectively.
The Board of Education then analyzes and approves such amendments to the budget.
The school budget is an instrument which provides a definite financial policy for the direction of
business operations of the District. It provides an outline of the probable expenditures and the
anticipated receipts during a specified period of time. The budget is one of the most important
legal documents of a school district. It is not a static document but rather a working document
that changes based on approved budget amendments throughout the year as actual financial
data changes.
The Board of Education adopted a series of policies that provide direction regarding the
District’s budget and financial affairs that reflect the educational philosophy of the District, and
that provide a framework in which the District’s administration can effectively operate. The
budget and finance process conform to all state and local requirements as set forth by the state
constitution, state statutes, the Department of Elementary and Secondary rules, and Board
policies.
Budget Preparation, Implementation and Management
Much forecasting and historical data must be reviewed prior to the budget's development.
Annually, the Superintendent of Schools is required to submit the budget to the Board of
Education for consideration and adoption. The annual budget provides detailed information
regarding the estimates of income and expenditures for the ensuing fiscal year. Per statutory
requirements, the Board of Education is required to adopt the budget by June 30 of each year.
Prior to adoption, the Board of Education may accept, reject, modify, or request revisions of the
budget.
The annual budget governs the expenditures and obligations of all funds for the District. No
funds may be spent which are not authorized by the annual budget. However, in the event an
unanticipated need arises, the Board may approve the Superintendent of School's
recommendation to either appropriate an amount sufficient to cover the needed expenditure
from the unencumbered budget surplus (made from the proper funds) or revise the budget to
efficiently provide funding for the expenditure.
The Chief Financial Officer, in conjunction with the Superintendent of Schools, establishes
regulations, prescribes written procedures and employs the appropriate forms for handling line
item transfers of appropriations. This is necessary to ensure personnel compliance as well as to
establish an audit trail of all such activities.

Introductory
The Board of Education also participates in two Board retreats each year, one of which allocates
time for budget discussions. These work sessions provide the Superintendent and the Chief
Financial Officer the time to educate the Board of Education regarding changes in law or
philosophies pertaining to the scope of budget planning and its implementation. This is a good
opportunity for the Board to tell the administration their preference in terms of monthly
reports at regular Board meetings. In addition, the Board collaboratively sets goals with the
administration so that budgetary obligations can be planned in advance of the final budget.
Managerial goals are presented to all budget
administrators in the District by the
Superintendent of Schools. The goals, along with
the indicators found on each administrator's
performance evaluation, outline the requirements
of budget development, implementation, and
management. Budget administrators work closely
with the Chief Financial Officer and the entire
Business Department throughout the course of the
fiscal year as well as in preparation of the next
budget year. The Organizational Section of the
budget book further explains the management
processes used to most thoroughly monitor
revenue and expenditure, as well as purchasing controls the District has in place.
For further understanding as to the budget development, implementation, and management
process; please review the following budget calendar which provides the approximate time
frames and task description associated with much of the budgeting work.

Budgeted Revenue
The School District of Washington receives revenue from local and state sources. In the process
of preparing the annual budget, the administration estimates the amount of actual local tax
revenue anticipated to be raised, the rate required to produce the amount, and the rate
needed to support the principal and interest payment on bonded indebtedness and general
financial obligations of the District. This local effort makes up 71.4% of the District's revenue.
In terms of state revenue, funds are accepted for the operation of the District as provided by
entitlement through the state foundation formula as determined by law. This entitlement
generates 16.7% of revenue the District uses to operate.

Introductory
It should also be noted the School District of Washington receives a small amount of Federal
revenue, 6.2%, along with 2.6% from the county sources. Further explanation as to revenue
sources can be found in subsequent sections of the annual budget.
Capital Projects Development Process
The School District of Washington encompasses approximately 257 square miles and operates
more buildings than most Districts with similar enrollment. We take pride in our District
buildings and wish to provide learning environments that are clean, safe and equipped.
The District completed the first phase of its Long Range Facilities and Master Plan in
collaboration with Hoener Associates, Inc. and our Small Facilities Review Team. A
comprehensive prioritized list of facility needs was established, and the list included projected
improvements of existing facilities while strategically planning for long-range facilities
programming. It is important to realize that our plan is a working document that provides for
planning flexibility. It is designed to accommodate refinements due to maintenance
requirements, educational program needs, district growth and feedback from key stakeholders.
Following the first phase of planning, the School District of Washington placed a 15 million
dollar, no tax rate increase bond issue on the August 2010 ballot after seeking input, prioritizing
needs, and determining the most critical issues.
The needs were numerically prioritized by each campus. A “staff input evaluation form” was
developed and utilized to obtain a comprehensive scope of baseline information in nine
categories for each facility. Building administration and staff supervisors for Food Service,
Maintenance and Technology facilitated a process to garner feedback from the respective staff
members. This information was then reviewed by District Administration and Hoener
Associates Architects. The information was also presented to the Small Facility Review Team.
The categories under review were: Site, Building Envelope, Mechanical Systems, Electrical
Systems, Fire and Safety Systems, Equipment, ADA, and Long Range Master Planning. A
category report by each school was then developed and used to culminate into a District wide
priority list. Bond issue projects were then determined, as well as capital projects to be
completed by appropriate District staff.
Proposition S, passed with a 72% approval rating in August of 2010. The District completed
HVAC, fire alarm, and intercom communication system upgrades at Campbellton Elementary,
Clearview Elementary, Labadie Elementary and Marthasville Elementary in August 2011. The
Washington High School upgrades are currently in process and scheduled for completion by

Page 12
October of 2012. We are thankful for the community’s support in these building improvement
endeavors.
The Washington Way Initiative was also launched in September of 2010. As a result, the Long
Range Facility Focus Group was established to begin looking at our future needs. The Board of
Education authorized a Demographic Study, to be conducted by a third party, for the purposes
of collecting data that could help shape our decisions for future new construction and
renovations. As a result, Business Information Solutions conducted
a comprehensive study, presented the findings to the Focus Group
as well as to the Board of Education. From there, the Focus Group
reviewed and discussed model long range plans that were aligned
to the data from this comprehensive study. The Focus Group
endorsed what was known as Model Plan B. Upon hearing the
recommendation by the Focus Group and District administration,
the Board of Education voted to put a 65 million dollar bond
referendum on the April 2012 ballot. The plan addressed many
issues facing the District, including overcrowding and necessary
renovations to aging buildings. Unfortunately, the referendum did not pass. As a result, the
Focus Group was reconvened in May of 2012 to revisit the data and discuss the District’s next
step.
Currently, four options have been presented to the Board of Education, which range from an
identical plan to the last bond referendum to a much scaled back version. The Board of
Education is scheduled to discuss the various options at the August 2012 board meeting. In the
meantime, to address overcrowding at two elementary buildings, modular classrooms are being
installed at those locations. Preschool classes and other programs have also been relocated to
open up needed classroom space in other buildings.
Also included in this document is the District’s Five to Ten year Facility Plan. This plan serves as
a guide to the District in the coming years as operation and management program needs are
determined.

FACILITY IMPROVEMENT AND MASTER PLANNING 2012-13 (Tentative)

Introductory
Budget Consideration for FY 2012-2013
Many District stakeholders contributed to the development of this year’s budget. Each
stakeholder brought issues and considerations that impacted the final outcome. The business
office staff tried to accommodate these requests while weighing the fiscal restraints created by
a limited revenue stream. The following items were relevant to the process of meeting the
District’s vision of being an educational leader achieving academic excellence:
1. The District negotiated in good faith with the Salary and Benefit Committee to set
wage increases and step advancements for all staff members used to establish
personnel costs in this budget. The FY2012-2013 budget will realize newly developed
salary schedules with an average of 3.4% increase.
2. The District is committed to continuation of the Professional Learning Community
(PLC) model of school improvement.
3. The District is enhancing its efforts to improve student performance. The FY2012-
2013 budget includes funds to continue textbook enhancement and cycle upgrades, as
well as new computers and continued computer rotation.
4. The Missouri State Legislature passed a new basic school funding formula during the
2005 legislative session; the new formula was scheduled to be phased in over a seven
year period. FY2012-2013 is the sixth year for funding through the new formula and
the formula has a positive impact on the budget. However, due to the fact that
State’s economic conditions are unfavorable at this time, the District may realize a
possible withhold of 8% on a portion of this funding. This will present a flat to slight
decrease in state funding when an increase was expected.
5. The School District of Washington realized a slight increase in assessed values on
properties in all three counties, which followed a decrease the prior year. As local tax
effort comprises 71% of the revenue stream, this is closely monitored.
Reflection upon 2011-2012, Looking Ahead to 2012-2013
Much occurred in 2011-2012 that will shape our strategic plans and future budgets. Lists of
some notable changes or initiatives from the past year are below:
 The School District of Washington went out to bid for insurance in 2009. The
negotiation process resulted in a second year renewal rate agreement for the 2010
benefit year, if certain conditions were met. As a result, the District realized a two
percent decrease in benefit costs the first year and a two percent decrease in the
second year. We were very fortunate in this respect. This is not at all likely to become a
trend and it should be noted renewal rate increases are a big concern in the future.
 The establishment of community focus groups stemmed from the Washington Way
initiative. As a result two things have happened:

Page 16
1. An updated Comprehensive School Improvement Plan is being drafted and will
be approved and finalized during the fall of 2012. The Focus Group working in
this area inspired two pilot programs during 2011-12.
2. A long range plan for facilities was established and endorsed by the Focus Group
and presented to the Board of Education. Due to the failure of the April 2012
bond issue, Focus Group 2 reconvened and modified the plan. The Board of
Education will be discussing two modified plans at their August 2012 meeting
(please see Exhibits A & B at the end of this section).
 An Elementary Technology Curriculum and teaching model was inspired during focus
group work and developed in collaboration with the technology department,
instructional coordinator, elementary principals, and the Assistant Superintendent for
Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment.
 Curriculum teams spent many hours developing new viable curriculum that is accessible
to teachers and staff in multiple content areas. The District is working diligently in order
to transition successfully from current state grade level expectations to the Common
Core State Standards.
 The restoration of some positions lost through attrition are anticipated in 2012-13
following a compensation study which was conducted and also resulted in changes to
salary schedules for employee groups which were not competitively paid per the study
findings.

The work above is a direct result of careful budget planning and a collaborative approach with
staff, parents, and patrons. We take great pride in the level of service we provide and we know
that through careful planning, collaboration, communication, and a transparent approach that
we can realize our goals and achieve success.
It should also be noted that in order to sustain this high quality of service, resources must be
available. Building improvements and potential new construction needs as supported by the
focus group work cannot be realized without growth in revenue. It should also be clear that
school districts only have three options when it comes to financing costly renovation and new
construction needs. An understanding of the financing options is important to remember,
especially as the District begins to embark on the strategies necessary to begin realizing a long
range plan for facilities as aligned to the findings from the demographic study. The financing
options available to Districts in Missouri are as follows:
1. Pay cash. This mode of financing is most advantageous and typically can only be done
when cash is on hand and project size is small.
2. Pursue leasehold certificates. This mode of financing does not require voter approval;
however payments can only be made from the operations budget which is also the side
of the budget used to pay for staff salaries, educational supplies, equipment, repairs,
etc. Projects typically financed this way are usually paid over a 5-10 year period
Bond issues. This mode of financing requires the sale of bonds and payments must only be paid
out of the debt service fund. This means that the pennies levied in the Debt Service Levy are
solely used to make principal and interest payment on bonded debt.

Page 18
This is usually the best option for school districts when pursuing major projects because
financing is spread out over a 20 year period.
Currently, the School District of Washington is employing strategies for early pay-off of lease
type debt. The portion of the tax levy that would pay for bond payments, otherwise known as
the debt service levy, is currently set at .2985 cents per $100 dollars of assessed valuation. The
levy amount of .2985 cents is extremely low and would not be enough to fund the facilities
plan. The District’s only option to increase revenue for this purpose is to increase its tax rate,
thus levying more pennies in debt service. The Board of Education will be evaluating the
implications of a tax levy increase in the coming months; however a potential ballot
referendum may be evident in 2013.
Summary of 2012-2013 Budget Contents
The FY2012-13 budget book is very comprehensive. The District has worked hard to financially
reposition itself, and evidence of such is included in this document. The budget is comprised of
four main sections:
Introductory Section: This section includes the Superintendent’s message in the Executive
Summary report. This summary is designed to communicate the high points of the District. It
also provides a summary of the issues surrounding the budget.
Organizational Section: This section outlines the mission, vision, beliefs, and structure of the
District. In addition, key information that pertains to the accounting rules and systems
associated with school budgeting is included.
Financial Section: This section provides a detailed account and description of all funds,
historical data, and future projections. Building and department budgets are also included in
this section. Adoption of the financials is required by the Board of Education by June 30 of each
year.
Informational Section: This section provides detailed information about the District in the area
of tax rates and historical trends, debt service and lease purchase schedules, financial
forecasting, student membership, attendance calendar, and schedules. Supplemental
information is also supplied in this section.
The School District of Washington has worked diligently to produce a comprehensive and
transparent budget. Our budgets are posted on our District website each year at
www.washington.k12.mo.us for patron viewing. Budget Committee members from the Board
of Education preview the preliminary budget prior to the full Board of Education submission.
This process has helped our Chief Financial Officer and Superintendent determine the level of
understanding, need, and clarification necessary prior to the budget adoption meeting. The

Introductory
annual budget document is also constructed for the purpose of providing quality information to
our community. This level of transparency allows all stakeholders to develop an understanding
of our mission, vision, and goals.
Each year, the budget allocation of revenues and expenditures is derived after careful
consideration and thought. It represents a balance between the educational needs of students
in our school systems and the ability of our local community, county, and state to provide the
necessary financial support to most adequately serve them.
Student enrollment has grown slowly and steadily over the last several years. As recently as
February of 2011, the School District of Washington contracted with Business Information
Solutions to conduct a demographic study of our District. Many of their findings have been
included in our budget document. This study also called for a school building capacity analysis,
long range projections, and minor transportation analysis. Three projection models have the
School District of Washington growing to as little as 4,293 to as much as 4,597 students during
the next decade. The study also confirmed our current needs with regard to education space as
well as looked at growth patterns that could have an even more extensive impact on our ability
to function within our current school facilities.
A few other important findings from the study were confirmed. One, the number of students
enrolled in free-and-reduced lunches has increased by 31.6 percent in Washington, nearly ten
times the statewide growth rate. This increase is mainly due to the unemployment rate and
poor economic conditions; however some of the increase may also be attributable to changes
in processes and procedures, as well as improved communication strategies between school
and home. Also noted in the study, it is estimated that only 68% of school age children in our
district boundaries actually attend our District. This means that approximately 5000 students
attend the private schools in our area. Typically, one would equate that statistic to a poor
performing public school district, but in this instance that is not the case. The School District of
Washington is among the highest achieving districts in the state. We take pride in that fact.
However, it should be noted that the School District of Washington may realize additional
enrollment from families who cannot afford private tuition in the future. As you can imagine,
this topic among many others has come up in our focus group meetings. All of the data plays a
significant role in our planning decisions, from a budget and a facilities standpoint.
Conclusion
Community engagement has become a way of life in our District. I very much look forward to
shaping the future of our District with people who care deeply about the quality of education in
their community. Although the economic climate continues to be of great concern, we believe
our budget represents our best effort. Continued monitoring of the state’s budget will be a
priority, so the School District of Washington can continue to monitor projections and remain

Page 20
proactive where possible. The careful watch over expenditures will also continue. We will
remain focused on our efforts to communicate with the public on matters that impact the
school community. Calling upon the public to increase the District’s tax rate is not a favorable
move; however the issues we are dealing with are worthy of consideration.
The 2012-2013 budget reflects total operating revenue projections of $49,337,215 while
operating expenditures total $54,785,108. As mentioned previously, the future carries a
number of question marks. Should trends continue as they have in recent years, the 2013-2014
budget as well as the 2014-2015 budget could require aggressive changes. We believe this
current budget is in sound condition and we should be very thankful for our financial health
during these difficult times. Our ability to reposition the District may allow us to ride out the
storm and that accomplishment is a direct reflection of the fine work that has been done to
date.
Sincerely,
Dr. Lori VanLeer
Superintendent of Schools

Revenue and Expenditure Trends and Projections
Revenue will decrease during the FY2012-2013 school year due to the state withhold of some
programs and the loss of ARRA monies. There are increases in expenditures due to planned
construction projects and increases in salaries and benefits. The District anticipates the total
fund balance to be approximately $23 million at the end of FY2012-2013. The Administration is
committed to reducing the budgeted deficit through careful management and oversight of
expenditures.

DEBT OBLIGATION
The School District of Washington’s normal debt and interest obligations for FY2012/13 total $2,258,269, not
including any fees budgeted. These obligations are comprised of $1,300,000 in principal and $1,058,269 in
interest payments. The District has a designated debt service levy of $.2900 to provide the funds for the annual
payment of principal and interest. Due to declining assessed property values this levy will not generate the
money needed to meet our financial obligations and create a reasonable reserve. The table below shows the
District’s debt and interest payments through FY 2029/2030.

BONDING CAPACITY
Bonding Capacity
Article VI, Section 26(b) allows school districts to have bonded debt obligations equal to 15% of their district's
assessed property valuation. During 2010 the school district issued $15,000,000 in new bonds and
refinanced $2,650,000. The School District of Washington's projected assessed valuation for the
FY2012-13 school year is $752,525,196. This is a slight decrease over the prior year. This gives
the District total bonding capacity of $80 million during FY2012-13. The fiscal year-end debt obligation
will approximately be $32.1 million. FY2012-13 will be a reassessment year. Little growth is expected.

ORGANIZATIONAL SUMMARY
DISTRICT OVERVIEW
The District has provided education services to the students in the Franklin County area since its
incorporation as a public entity in 1889. Through mergers, it has become one of the largest
geographical school districts in Missouri with the reorganization and addition of area in both
Warren and St. Charles counties. Population growth in the District has remained constant with
increases from year to year. Enrollment projections indicate the student population during the
next five years will continue at a steady increase of approximately 1% each year. The District
currently provides education to approximately 4,100 students Kindergarten through grade 12,
with an additional 185 in its early childhood education programs.
The District encompasses approximately 257 square miles in Franklin County, southern St.
Charles County, and eastern Warren County. The cities within the District’s boundaries are
Augusta, Labadie, Marthasville, New Haven, Union, and Washington. The District operates as
fiscally independent of the State of Missouri or any other jurisdiction in the county or local
township in which it operates.
FACILITIES
The District’s educational facilities include eight elementaries, one middle and one high school.
The District also provides a Vocational Career Center that supports high school students from
the Washington School District and seven other surrounding school districts. The District also
has one operational support building, an administration building, a Family Resource Center for
special education services, and a Technology and Learning Center which houses the Technology
Department and Parents As Teachers Program.
The District has hired an architect to assist in the planning for improvements to existing
buildings as addressed through the Strategic Plan Facilities Committee.
PERSONNEL RESOURCES
The District employs approximately 604 staff members to assist in the student learning process.
Personnel costs, including salary and benefits, account for 73.45% of the District’s total
operating expenditures. The student to teacher ratio is 19:1 for the District as a whole, 17:4 for
elementary schools, 19:1 for middle school and 23:1 for high school.
