Funding

How Kansas funds schools

Kansas funds schools through the Kansas School Equity and Enhancement Act (2017): each district’s weighted enrollment times a BASE aid amount ($5,615 per pupil for 2025–26, indexed to inflation), with eleven weightings (at-risk, special education, bilingual, transportation and more) on top. The formula is set to expire July 1, 2027, with a task force due to recommend a successor by January 2027.

District-level per-pupil spending and the local/state/federal revenue split for Perry Public Schools are published in the federal school-finance files — see the full-data links below for the current figures.

Accountability

Report card & state results

The Kansas Report Card, from the Kansas State Department of Education, reports assessment results, graduation and broader outcome measures (kindergarten readiness, Individual Plans of Study, postsecondary success). Look up Perry Public Schools on the Kansas Report Card.

Accreditation

Accreditation status

Kansas accredits districts through its own state system, KESA (Kansas Education Systems Accreditation), administered by KSDE at the system level — not a private accreditor; the current KESA 2.0 process began in 2024. See the KSDE accreditation portal.
