How Fulton Independent raises local revenue and documents Board decisions
Fulton Independent combines local property taxes with Kentucky SEEK and other state support, federal programs, food-service revenue and restricted capital sources. The district's public Board materials do not include a complete FY2027 budget or a current audit, so adopted tax projections cannot be treated as total district resources or actual spending.
The adopted property-tax rates are 61.8 cents per $100
The official notice applies 61.8 cents to both real and personal property, compared with 61.4 cents for each in the prior year. It projects $849,146.51 in General Fund receipts versus $813,295.30 in the FY2026 comparison, an increase of $35,851.21; the new total includes $201,106.22 from new and personal property.
$35,851.21 in projected growth is allocated between collection and instruction
The notice assigns $1,254.79 to collection costs and $34,596.42 to instruction from projected receipts above the FY2026 comparison.

Fulton Independent has not published audited annual expenses, a comparable per-pupil actual-spending figure or the dollar amount of the FY2027 working budget in these Board materials. The September 15 agenda proposed that budget, but no minutes or budget attachment was posted in the official folder.
