Funding Basics
Authorizer

Charter funding policies and reporting practices within each state may vary depending on the entity that authorized the charter school. Charter schools in Kentucky may be authorized by local school districts and other entities, like certain chief executives of local governments or a collaborative of local school districts.

Funding Formula

Funding for charter schools in Kentucky is not subject to a specific calculation. Kentucky does not currently have any charter schools, and its previous policy on charter funding ended in 2018.

Prior to 2018, funding for charter schools in Kentucky would have been based on a formula similar to the one used to calculate funding for traditional public schools.
