General Fund Revenue
The FY27 revenue budget was developed with input from the Board of Education. State of Alaska revenue projections for FY27 were created using $6,660 as the Base Student Allocation (BSA) in the State of Alaska Foundation Funding Formula.
The student enrollment projection of 8,198 for FY27 consists of brick-and-mortar students of 7,020 (including the .50 ADM for Early Education Program - Preschool) and correspondence homeschool program students of 1,178. These numbers were used in the Foundation Formula to calculate estimated state revenue.
State revenues include $73,090,243 for Foundation Funding, $267,429 for Quality Schools funding for a total of $73,357,672. TRS and PERS On-behalf payments total $8,615,811. These On-behalf payments are basically the difference between the employer statutory (required) rate, and the Alaska Retirement Management Board (ARMB) adopted rate for each retirement system.
The total State funding is $81,973,483.
For FY26, the Borough initially budgeted $57,634,015 in support of KPBSD. However, the Borough approved $62,359,080, exceeding the original budgeted amount.
For FY27, District Administration has budgeted Borough support to KPBSD at $59,074,865, based on projected Borough funding. This represents a 2.5% increase over the FY26 initially budgeted amount. The maximum level of support the Borough may provide to the District in FY27 is
$68,685,024, resulting in an additional allowable funding capacity of $9,610,159 above the budgeted level.
In-kind services are budgeted at the same level as FY26, totaling $15,480,851, with the remaining
$43,594,014 budgeted as a direct appropriation.
Other budgeted revenues include e-rate, interest earnings, and miscellaneous for a total of
$1,630,000.
Total General Fund Revenue available for FY27 is estimated to be $142,678,348.
