KDE audited Annual Financial Report, fiscal year 2025: expenditures for functions 1000–5100 (instruction, support services, non-instructional services, facilities and debt service; fund transfers excluded) in funds 1, 2X, 310, 320, 400 and 51 (general, special revenue, capital outlay, building, debt service and food service), per student in unadjusted average daily attendance, as KDE computes it. KDE marks this district's report audited.
KDE Average Classroom Teacher Salary, 2025–26: KDE's own average for the district, as KDE publishes it from the Professional Staff Data the district reports on September 15 (annual salary, expenditure objects 0110–0112). It is KDE's average, not computed here.
KDE Superintendent's Salaries (December 9, 2025): the annual salary the district reported for its superintendent for 2025–26 (base pay, extended days and extra service; objects 0110–0112). One position's salary, as the district reported it; benefits are not included.
KDE Tax Rates Levied, 2025–26 (dated April 30, 2026): the rate the district's board levied, as KDE records it — the district's own school tax, not a county or city tax. Property rates are cents per $100 of assessed value; the utility tax is a percentage of utility gross receipts; the occupational tax a percentage of wages.
