As the Supplemental Levy Election nears information is being communicated from outside of the district that contains inaccurate data. Here are some facts about the Kuna School District:

Fact 1

The District complies with all State and District requirements for competitive bidding on the services and products that it purchases.

Each year the District undergoes a financial audit that scrutinizes internal controls, accounting processes, and includes recommendation for change if necessary.

The District also undergoes periodic reviews from State and Federal auditors to verify that it complies with proper accounting and internal controls.

Fact 2

The $4,494 per pupil funding is a value that was calculated by the Idaho State Department of Education for the 2009-10 school year. This amount represents funds provided only by the State and does not include local funding sources such as the Supplemental Levy.

The reason why this value is important is that the State's funding level has dropped by approximately $400/student from 2009-10 to the 2012-13 year, which is why the Supplemental Levy funding is being sought by the District.

Fact 3

The total revenue from all sources for the District in 2012-13 comes to $6,758/student.
