Every line the department pays this district through, in the three years. Total state support, the last row, is all of them; foundation aid, the first, is the narrow measure — core foundation funding and the guarantee, the part this site models. FY2025 is the department's final payment report; FY2026 and FY2027 are its models of those years, not payments. Every figure is in nominal dollars.

The lines sum to total state support in every year, to within cent rounding. Supplemental targeted assistance keeps its row after FY2025 because its going is part of the change: H.B. 96 repealed it, and the base funding and enrollment growth supplements it created are separate lines, not its replacement under another name.

Foundation aid is paid as the funding base plus the phase-inThe share of the gap between what the formula computes and a district's older base that is actually paid. A district below its base is held at the base, so a higher phase-in does not reach it.'s share of the gap between what the formula calculates and that base, and the guarantee holds it up where the result would fall. These are the department's own three figures for each year. FY2025 is the department's final payment report; FY2026 and FY2027 are its models of those years, not payments. Every figure is in nominal dollars.

• FY2025: +$5,865,901 above its base. The formula calculates $16,469,541, $8,798,411 over a $7,671,130 base, and the phase-in pays $5,865,901 of that gap.
• FY2026: +$6,439,216 above its base. The formula calculates $15,398,498, $7,727,368 over a $7,671,130 base, and the phase-in pays $6,439,216 of that gap.
• FY2027: +$6,009,601 above its base. The formula calculates $13,680,731, $6,009,601 over a $7,671,130 base, and the phase-in pays $6,009,601 of that gap.

The phase-in statewide counts the districts paid exactly their base in each year, which a higher rate does not reach, and what it paid above everyone else's.

Three inputs and the measure each reaches the dollars through. The files publish the inputs and the payment but not how much of the payment's change each input is, so nothing here divides the change between them. The FY2025 payment report carries no capacity inputs at all, so state share and enrollment start at FY2026. Dollar figures are in nominal dollars.

• State share went from 44.6% in FY2026 to 39.4% in FY2027. It is the part of base cost the state pays after the district's local capacity is charged, so it reaches the dollars through foundation aid, which moved −$429,614 over the same two years. Reappraisal and the state share sets the fall beside every district's valuation change, by the share it started at.
• Assessed valuation went from $507,355,190 in tax year 2023 to $634,659,111 in tax year 2025 (+25.1%). Valuation is the larger part of local capacity, which is what sets the state share above — the route by which a reappraisal reaches foundation aid at all.
• Enrolled ADM went from 2,536.0 in FY2026 to 2,452.2 in FY2027, as each year's file states it (−3.3%). Base cost is computed per pupil, so enrollment reaches the dollars through the formula's calculated figure on the phase-in card.

What the department deducts from total state support before it pays the district — the educational service center's charge and other adjustments — and what is left. FY2025's report publishes the transfers as one total; FY2027's itemizes them; FY2026's publishes none, and that column says so rather than showing a zero. FY2025 is the department's final payment report; FY2026 and FY2027 are its models of those years, not payments. Every figure is in nominal dollars.
