Tuition.

No projection included for enrollment increase. An increase of 1% in enrollment equals $305,000 of new revenue.

Property Tax.

Appraised values will increase by 4.5%. New construction will equal the leve1 set in 1999. In 1999 new construction was 35% more than 1998. The FY2000 figure includes the tax revenue increases for both Manor ISD of $682,256 and the 35% jump in appraised value for new construction equaling $200,000 tax revenue. The fy2001 forecast is in line when these combined amounts of $882,256 are factored out of fy2000. Tax rate will be .05 per $100 of assessed value.

Funding from Bond Sales

If a one million-dollar bond is sold, it requires $90,000 of yearly debt service.

If tuition is increased by one dollar it produces $500,000 of new revenue per year.

$1 of tuition equals $5,500,000 of bond debt
1% enrollment increase equal $3,400,000 of bond debt
