Hello Mimi,
Happy New Year!
Regret the late reply on this.
Melody would like to know if you are available to touch bases via zoom just for a quick 30 minutes to talk through this request.
Do you happen to be available next Wednesday, 1/13/2021 at 3:00pm to zoom?
I’ll send a calendar hold until we confirm.

Subject: SMMUSD and Franklin: budget basics
Hi Gerardo
We are PTA leaders at Franklin elementary school. We'd like to create a visual, such as a pie chart, that roughly explains how Franklin is funded. Nothing complex or exactly correct-- just a rough yet accurate idea for our parents.
Using EdData as a source, total revenue for SMMUSD $160 million 2018-2019
96 million state aid and local property tax
4.4 million federal
5.6 million other state
54 million other local
So 60% of our SMMUSd budget is provided by the state aid/local property tax and 30% (~$50 million) is from the city of SM? And $2.5 million from Ed Foundation which is a super tiny portion of the overall budget. And how do PTA contributions factor into the district budget? Are they included in the $160 million (maybe in the other local category)?
The federal money pays mostly for the School Lunch program, yes?
You and Melody did a great presentation to the PTA council about a month ago on just this topic! It was so interesting and a little advanced for my understanding.
Thanks for your thoughts, if you have time
Jane Schmitz
