This second in a series of ISDLAF+ User Group Seminars is for current and prospective school district Fund participants and is designed to assist Superintendents and School Business Officials in understanding basic principles of school finance and business operations. Topics for October will include the Tax Levy: Truth in Taxation and Micro-credentials.
This seminar will focus on tax levy timeline basics, what to include in a presentation for the Board, as well as tips for success in the tax levy process. While presenters will not be giving legal advice, they will walk attendees through a tax levy worksheet so that they will be able to leave the Seminar with a completed tax levy.
Micro-credentials will also be covered. Micro-credentials are personalized learning opportunities which allow you to utilize your existing knowledge and experience, along with provided learning resources, to earn a digital badge. It requires you to evidence your mastery of a specific skill, such as the tax levy. An assessor will evaluate your competency for you to earn the credential. A digital badge you receive upon completion can be added to your paper resume or online profiles and link to a page that describes what that micro-credential entails.
Please note: You will need to bring your laptop computer, 2023 Tax Extension Notices for each county in which the school district is located and if you can get it, an estimate of the CY 2024 equalized assessed valuations from the respective township assessor(s), including new construction if you are tax capped.
