Why is enrollment important to the General Fund Budget?
2010-11 General Fund Expenditure Categories
The majority of the district's General Fund Revenue (State General Purpose, 54.21%) is determined by the district's annual average enrollment, measured by Full-Time Equivalent Students (FTEs). A 1.0 FTE student represents a student attending school full time, as compared to a kindergarten student who attends school for 1/2 day and, therefore, would be a .5 FTE.
District staffing is also measured by FTE and separated into two types of employees:
Certificated - Any staff member holding a valid teaching certificate (i.e., teachers, librarians, counselors, principals, and some administrators).
Classified - Any staff member not holding a valid teaching certificate (i.e.,
instructional assistants, bus drivers, custodians, maintenance workers, food service employees, secretaries, and some administrators).
The table below lists the average annual FTE enrollment in the Central Kitsap School District, along with full-time equivalent staffing.

*In 2007-08, the Legislature passed a measure
that changed the age range of 0-3 to age 0-5 for preschool. This modified the
12.7% funding lid for special education funding and the cap is only applicable
to K-21 instead of ages 3-21.
Historical Enrollment Trends
The size of CKSD's student body determines the amount of general purpose revenue it will receive from the state. Enrollment trends from the past
several years are shown in the bar graph below.
