Kentucky Education Commissioner Addresses SEEK Funding Shortfall

Following a detailed review of preliminary data, the Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) has announced an anticipated funding shortfall for the Supporting Education Excellence in Kentucky (SEEK) fund for the 2024-2025 school year. This program plays a crucial role in providing financial resources to local school districts, ensuring that students receive a quality education.

Commissioner of Education Robbie Fletcher emphasized the importance of the SEEK fund in supporting educational initiatives across the state. The potential shortfall raises concerns about the ability of schools to maintain current programs and services, as well as the impact on staffing and resources. As districts prepare their budgets for the upcoming school year, the uncertainty surrounding SEEK funding could lead to difficult decisions regarding staffing levels and program availability.

The KDE is committed to working closely with state lawmakers and education stakeholders to address this challenge. The focus remains on ensuring that all students have access to a high-quality education, despite the financial hurdles ahead. As discussions unfold, the education community is urged to stay informed and engaged in the process.
