LOCALLY CONTROLLED SCHOOL FUNDING SET TO EXPIRE
Since 1987 KSD has relied upon locally controlled funding through a voter-approved parcel tax—representing 25% of KSD’s budget. Unless renewed by a two-thirds vote in a local election, this funding is set to expire. If this funding expires, it will result in extensive layoffs for teachers and school staff, cuts to academic programs and increases in class sizes. To preserve and protect high-quality education in our schools, KSD is considering placing a measure on the June 2026 ballot to renew expiring school funding. While final decisions are under consideration, the proposed measure would likely continue the current parcel tax with a modest increase of $148 per parcel for ten years.
FREE AND REDUCED LUNCH APPLICATION
Although we have implemented a universal meal program, it is still important that qualified families complete the KSD Free and Reduced Lunch application, as it may provide benefits to the district and family, including:
- State and Federal Funding for School Budgets
- Access to P-EBT Eligibility
- Suggested school supplies, yearbook at no cost, etc.
