Dear Mr. Verbrugge:
Enclosed is a copy of the annual D.A.R.E. and Police Liaison Services Agreement for the 2003 -2004 school year. The
amount specified in the agreement was verified in conversation with representatives of your police department.
As you may know, the Minnesota Legislature has again increased the amount that local school districts may levy, which is
now called the "Safe Schools Levy," along with new stipulations and allowances on how the funds may be spent.
Because of pressing needs for these funds within the district and because we increased payments for police liaison
services from the levy by 20% in 2001 -2002, we are increasing the amount paid from the levy by slightly less than 3% for
these services for this school year.
Levy funding for the,D.A.R.E. program has been capped at $50,000 districtwide by the Board of Education. This amount
is then divided by "the number of fifth graders to determine the amount each department will receive per pupil served.
This year's funding is $23.93 per student, up from $23.49 last year.
Taking all this into consideration, the City of Rosemount will receive a total of $46,936 for D.A. R.E. ($5,936) and police
liaison services ($41,000) in the four District 196 schools in Rosemount that receive such services.
Please review this document and return the signed copy to me.
Sincerely,
q:, f c am ,-
Jill E. Coyle
