Each year, KCS holds a public budget hearing to review the proposed budget, explain key funding pieces, and give families, staff, and community members an opportunity to ask questions, share comments, and learn more about the process.

School funding includes many different sources, and some dollars come with specific rules for how they can be used. That’s why the public hearing is an important opportunity to hear the details directly and better understand the budget.
