Revenue Source Descriptions
Local Taxes - 1XXX (Levy) - The local maintenance and operations levy provides 11.69% of budgeted revenues. Levy amounts are capped by the legislature and must be approved by Central Kitsap School District voters at a special election held every fourth year.
Local Non-Tax - 2XXX (Fee Programs) - The local non-tax funds comprise 3.16% of revenues and are generated from fee programs such as sales of school lunches and building rentals. Also included are investment interest earnings.
State, General Purpose - 3XXX (State Apportionment) - The largest portion, 52.75%, of the Central Kitsap School District’s general fund revenue comes directly from the state in the form of "apportionment," otherwise known as "state general purpose funding." The amount is determined by the number of students attending our schools and a series of formula factors including legislatively-set base salaries, employee benefits, and non-labor allocations, as well as the collective education and experience of our teachers.
State, Special Purpose - 4XXX (State Categorical) - The third largest source, 15.73%, of funds comes from the state as categorical funds for programs such as special education, pupil transportation, transitional bilingual education, learning assistance and educational enhancements. Most of these revenues are given for a specific program and are not available for other purposes.
Federal, General Purpose - 5XXX (Federal Impact Aid Funds) - These federal funds are authorized by law and allocated to the District based on the number of students whose parents either work or live on federal property. These funds comprise 10.07% of revenues and are used for District-wide basic education programs, with the exception of funds received for special education students, which are directed to the special education program.
Federal, Special Purpose - 6XXX (Federal Categorical Funds) - Federal categorical funds comprise 6.60% of the District's revenues. These monies fund programs such as Title I and Head Start. They also provide supplemental funding for special education programs and support free and reduced lunches in the food service program. These revenues may only be used for their specific program purpose.
