Most Kentucky Districts Receive Less in SEEK Funding

Key takeaways

  • About three-fourths of Kentucky school districts are receiving less in SEEK funding this year.
  • SEEK is state funding for Kentucky public school districts.
  • The Kentucky Center for Economic Policy reported the statewide figure.

State payments

About three-fourths of Kentucky school districts are receiving less in state Support Education Excellence in Kentucky, or SEEK, funding this year, the Kentucky Center for Economic Policy says.

SEEK payments are state funding provided to Kentucky’s public school districts. The change affects a large majority of districts statewide, while the remaining districts are not included in that three-fourths figure.

What the figure shows

The reported change concerns the amount districts are receiving from the state through SEEK this year. It does not, by itself, describe how individual districts will adjust their budgets, staffing or services.

The Kentucky Center for Economic Policy published the analysis as part of its work on state budget and education policy. The organization’s analysis is the basis for the statewide three-fourths figure.

What to watch

  • District-level SEEK payment amounts for this year.
  • How affected school districts account for the change in their budgets.
  • Further state education funding records and updates.
