FY 2024
KSDE’s FY 2024 budget estimate totals $6.7 billion, including $4.6 billion from Kansas’ State General Fund (SGF). The budget includes $6.6 billion ($4.6 billion SGF) for state aid to school districts, other local education agencies and individuals. Additionally, the budget includes $108.1 million ($20 million SGF) for agency operations, including staff salaries and numerous contracts.
The FY 2024 budget funds the first year of the inflationary adjustment to the Base Aid for Student Excellence (BASE). The approved BASE is $5,088, which is an increase of 5% above the FY 2023 BASE of $4,846.
FY 2025
KSDE’s FY 2025 budget request totals $6.5 billion, including $4.8 billion from the SGF. The budget includes $6.4 billion ($4.8 billion SGF) for state aid to school districts, local education agencies and individuals. Additionally, the budget includes $69.2 million ($20.2 million SGF) for agency operations. The total decrease from the FY 2024 for agency operations is due to the expiration of COVID-19 relief funds.
The FY 2025 budget funds the second year of the inflationary adjustment to the BASE. The current estimate for the FY 2025 BASE is $5,388, which is an increase of 5.9% above the FY 2024 BASE. However, the FY 2025 BASE will not be finalized until April 2024.
The FY 2025 budget includes the following requests for additional funding approved by the Kansas State Board of Education.
