Annual Maintenance and Support – Version 2009
One of MSBO’s commitments is to maintain, support and upgrade the program from year to year. When a district purchases the Annual Maintenance and Support, they receive the update to the software (Version 2009), updated documentation that explains the changes, and software support. This update includes:
- The state formulas have been updated for the 2008-09 State Aid Act, including the new formula calculations and new property tax calculation
- labels and foundation factors have been updated
- taxes sheet changes to incorporate commercial PP TAV and commercial PP millage rates
- taxable value descriptions changed to conform to state changes
- the State Aid Status Report format changed to incorporate changes made by the MDE
Last year’s 2008 update also included:
- prior fiscal year foundation field added – needed to calculate current year foundation allowance
- retirement factors updated by fiscal year
- retirement and FICA adjustment section added – adjustment needed when salaries are contracted services
- automatic axis equalization button added to the snapshot graph
- print menu updated with print foundation calculations worksheet
The 2009 Annual Maintenance and Support is $110. A discounted rate of $90 is available (if all districts that purchased the DBP program in an ISD also choose to purchase the Annual Maintenance and Support). A CD will be mailed to you upon receipt of your payment.
