How Kentucky funds schools

The SEEK formula

Kentucky funds schools through the SEEK (Support Education Excellence in Kentucky) formula: a guaranteed base per pupil in average daily attendance ($4,586 for 2025–26), plus add-ons for at-risk students, students with disabilities, English learners and home/hospital instruction, with transportation and local-effort “tier” components.

Statewide, Kentucky public schools draw about 45.7% of revenue from the state, 36.8% local and 17.5% federal (NEA, Rankings & Estimates 2026). Current figures are published by the Kentucky Department of Education.
