At the KPB assembly meeting on June 2, 2015, assembly members voted to fund the KPBSD FY16 budget with the maximum allowable contribution that Alaska state law permits.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #000000\">\u201cWe are grateful the Borough recognizes that with the fiscal unknowns in the state budget, and by funding the school district with the maximum amount possible, this action will help soften any potential reductions in service that we will likely need to make,\u201d said Sean Dusek, superintendent. \u201cThe local funding will minimize negative consequences students will experience with any future reductions in services and educational funding.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #000000\">\u201cI am especially thankful for the strong support we received from the Borough administration, assembly, and Mayor Navarre,\u201d said Sean Dusek, superintendent.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #000000\">The Alaska State Legislature has not yet passed a FY16 budget, so KPBSD remains uncertain about the amount of educational funding that will be designated to the district through the Foundation Formula and One-Time Funding.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #000000\">The KPBSD $165 million dollar FY16 budget is a deficit budget, and requires use of General Fund reserves. The actions of the Borough will allow KPBSD to extend its General Fund reserves into the upcoming years of fiscal uncertainty.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #000000\">Links<\/p>\n<ul style=\"color: #000000\">\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kpbsd.k12.ak.us\/departments.aspx?id=38\">KPBSD Finance Department webpage<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.borough.kenai.ak.us\/\">Kenai Peninsula Borough<\/a><\/li>\n<li>News Release:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/communications.blogs.kpbsd.k12.ak.us\/wpmu\/files\/2015\/06\/KPBSD_2015_06_03_KPBSD-funded-to-maximum-allowable-contribution-by-Borough.pdf\">June 5, 2015:\u00a0KPBSD funded to maximum allowable contribution by Borough<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"color: #000000\">###<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kenai Peninsula Borough School District Contact: Pegge Erkeneff, 907.714.8888 News Release KPBSD is grateful our Borough funds public education Soldotna, June 5, 2015\u2014The Kenai Peninsula Borough School District will receive &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/comm-test\/2015\/06\/05\/borough-funds-kenai-peninsula-education-with-maximum-allowable-contribution\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Borough funds Kenai Peninsula education with maximum allowable contribution&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":126,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[354,424,587,610,611,812],"class_list":["post-1823","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news-release","tag-education","tag-funding","tag-kenai-peninsula-borough","tag-kpb","tag-kpbsd","tag-public-education"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/comm-test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1823","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/comm-test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/comm-test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/comm-test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/126"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/comm-test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1823"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/comm-test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1823\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/comm-test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1823"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/comm-test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1823"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/comm-test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1823"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
