Sources, definitions and gaps
Sources
- Revenue by source: New York State Comptroller, Financial Data for Local Governments, school district account-level file for fiscal year 2025 (July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025), data as of Oct. 30, 2026. All governmental funds a district reports: general, school lunch, special aid, capital projects and debt service. Interfund transfers, borrowing proceeds and custodial (extraclassroom) money are left out so nothing is counted twice.
- State formula aid is the general-fund basic formula aid line (Foundation Aid plus expense-based aids such as transportation and building aid), lottery aid and BOCES aid. The Comptroller file doesn't break out Foundation Aid on its own, so the separate Foundation Aid 2026-27 column comes from the State Education Department's 2026-27 enacted-budget state aid file (May 19, 2026). It's a different year and isn't part of the totals.
- STAR is the state's reimbursement to the district for the STAR exemption. Homeowners who get the STAR credit as a check from the state don't show up here, because that money never passes through the district.
- Fund balance: "GF balance change" is the general fund's end-of-year balance minus its beginning balance in 2024-25, with prior-period adjustments removed. A negative number means the district drew down its savings. "Appropriated fund balance 2026-27" is the savings each district planned to spend in its 2026-27 budget (State Education Department 2026-27 Property Tax Report Card). Neither one is counted in revenue.
- Per pupil divides by fall 2024 K-12 enrollment. Bellmore-Merrick, Sewanhaka and Valley Stream Central only teach grades 7-12, so their per-pupil figures aren't comparable to K-12 districts.
- Missing data: Wainscott, Sagaponack, New Suffolk and Little Flower aren't in the state aid file or the property tax report card, so their Foundation Aid and appropriated fund balance cells read "n/a". New Suffolk has no fall 2024 enrollment count, so it has no per-pupil figures. Little Flower is a special-act district for students placed by other districts. It levies no property tax and is paid almost entirely through tuition.
