I thought I would share our current comparison group for state aid. Notice that of the ten schools we are compared to only one of ten was previously a sparse school. The change in formula with LB 988 hurt those schools by lowering cost per students around $700. We have a stability factor for two years of about $388,000 which protects us from taking the full loss at least until then. We are also hurt by not taxing closer to $1.05. If you notice of the ten schools below besides us only one is taxing below $1.0289. It is also interesting to note that seven of the ten have already had to override the $1.05 tax limit.
