The State of Indiana changed the school funding formula in 2009 to take effect in 2010. The change reduces over the next two years the basic amount Noblesville Schools will receive per student in the future. (Funding is based on ADM, Average Daily Membership, which counts kindergarten students as half because they attend school a half day.)
Chart A shows the planned reduction from 2009 to 2010.

The reduction in the per student funding has had a negative impact on the total operating budget of $1.6 million from 2009 to 2010 and will reduce it by another $1.2 million in 2012. (Chart B)

As the budget is decreasing (Chart B), Noblesville Schools’ student enrollment is increasing (Chart C). The district has grown by nearly 700 students since the 2006/07 school year.
