Various state agencies make payments on behalf of school districts for the employer’s portion of Health Benefits, Teachers’ Retirement System (TRS),Technology, and Debt Services. Districts issue federal reimbursement payments to the Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) for the employer’s portion of health benefits that were initially paid by the department for federally funded district employees. NOTE: The Kentucky Inter-local School Transportation Association (KISTA) Engery Savings Capital Leases have been removed because the funds are no longer available.
