<br />In fiscal year 1999-00, total funding for education increased by more than $3.6 million (8.23 percent).
<br />This is lower than the average of the past five (just over 12 percent) and ten (11.5 percent) years. Major
<br />factors influencing increases in the past years are:
<br />• Repayment of debt associated with three voter approved band referenda and private
<br />placement funding for school facilities.
<br />• Increases in annual current expense funding each year.
<br />• Increases in recurring capital appropriations. (From $750,000 per school system in fiscal
<br />years 1990 through 1996 to a dedicated three cents an the property tax rate currently).
<br />• Creation of a capital reserve

<br />projects. '
