Kutztown Area School District Budget Visualizer [2026]

This visualizer is an unofficial resource built from publicly available data. Its purpose is to help residents better understand how the Kutztown Area School District budget works and encourage further exploration of primary sources.

Kutztown Area School District publishes its annual budget in PDF form. To create this visualizer, we parsed the budget data into the Master KASD Revenues and Expenses Spreadsheet [spreadsheet download], which serves as the source for the figures shown here.

The visualizer separates school district revenues and expenses into searchable categories, making it easier to explore where money comes from and how it is allocated across instruction, support services, administration, facilities, debt service, and other district functions.

Bear in mind that the categories below are based on the district’s own budgeting structure. School budgets often use accounting codes that combine a function and an object.

The function generally describes the purpose of the spending, such as regular instruction, special education, transportation, administration, or facilities. The object generally describes the type of spending, such as salaries, benefits, supplies, purchased services, tuition, or equipment.

Because of this structure, some costs may be split across multiple related line items or grouped under broader categories.

For example, charter and cyber charter tuition may not appear as a standalone category in the budget visualizer. Instead, these costs can be included under broader Other Purchased Services categories, especially when the budget groups 500-level object codes together.

For more detail, the district’s Annual Financial Report provides a clearer year-end breakdown of actual spending. In KASD’s 2024–25 AFR, the district reported $2,361,383.02 in Object 562: Tuition To Pennsylvania Charter Schools, which is part of the broader 500 Other Purchased Services category.

Of that amount, $1,300,683.80 appeared under regular instruction and $1,060,699.22 appeared under special education instruction.

One final note: Always consult the official KASD budget when making important decisions, conducting formal research, or publishing claims based on school district financial data.
