The visualizations below serve as a supplement to the Full Report

This visualization shows the amount of state funding for the Support Education Excellence in Kentucky (SEEK) program by local school district in School Year 2020. The map can be adjusted by changing the SEEK guaranteed base, the multipliers for SEEK add ons, the required local effort, the equalization level, or the maximum tier I percent. The colors on the map display the extent to which changes in the SEEK formula would increase or decrease state funding in those districts. Below the map, the visualization displays the biggest and smallest changes in state funding per AADA by district for the selected changes to the SEEK formula. Below the map and to the left, the visualization displays the change required in the levied equivalent rate to maximize Tier I funding. Above the color gradient is the total change in state funding relative to the 2020 appropriation. Rolling over the districts displays an itemized summary of the changes to state funding in SEEK. By changing to the "District SEEK" tab and selecting a district, users can print out the itemized summary of changes to state funding in SEEK based on the changes that were made to the formula. The default map shows the funding as it was in the 2020 school year. To return to the defaults for the 2020 school year, click on the |🡠 button in the bottom task bar.
