SMART Finance News You Can Use

When the FY25 Revenue Projection Model becomes available (anticipated early March), go to MDE’s website using this link to download a copy: https://public.education.mn.gov/MDEAnalytics/DataTopic.jsp?TOPICID=247.

If you would like assistance working on next year’s revenue budget, send Stacy, Melissa, or Anthony your FY25 adjusted pupil estimates.  We will use those pupil estimates to create a revenue budget using the Budget Workpapers in SMART Finance.

If you begin working on the FY25 Budget note the following:

• It includes the FY24 What-if (FY25 won’t be available until sometime in March)
• On the User Inputs tab, enter FY24 IDEAS data on rows 41-60 until FY25 data is available.
• The state aid tabs will be FY24 amounts.
• The special ed revenue tabs are including the most recent.

 We recommend copying the FY24 revenue budget to FY25 as a starting point.
