Pasco County School District

Where the school district's money goes

Pasco County Schools is the single largest local-government employer in the county and operates on a budget bigger than the rest of the county's agencies combined. Every dollar the district takes in or spends is documented in one of the reports below.

The shortest paths in: the annual budget is the plan for next year. The audited financial report is the receipt for last year. The per-student spending report compares Pasco to other Florida districts on apples-to- apples terms. Everything else fills in the corners.

Annual budget17

The spending plan the school board adopts before each fiscal year. Says where every dollar is supposed to go — teacher and staff salaries, school operations, transportation, capital projects, debt service. Adopted in the late summer for the fiscal year starting July 1.

Audited financial report (ACFR)11

The post-year-end account of where the money actually went, audited by an outside CPA firm. The closest thing the school district has to a tax return: revenues, expenditures, fund balances, long-term debt, and the auditor's opinion on whether the numbers are clean. Typically published the spring after the fiscal year closes.

State annual financial report (ESE 348)11

The annual financial report the district submits to the Florida Department of Education on the state's standardized ESE-348 form. Because every Florida district fills it out the same way, you can compare Pasco to any other district statewide.

Per-student spending9

Spending per student, broken out by program. "UFTE" is the state's "unweighted full-time equivalent" student count — basically, one full-time student equals 1.0 UFTE. The report shows what the district spent per UFTE in general K-12, exceptional student education, English language learners, career and technical programs, and so on.

Charter capital outlay3

Florida form F63329 — capital outlay funding the district distributes to its charter schools under state law. Charters that meet certain criteria can claim a share of the district's capital budget.

Charter millage share1

How much of the local property-tax revenue (millage) the district passes through to charter schools, under the state's charter funding formula. Updated each year as the millage rate is set.

Property-tax millage history1

The district's local property-tax rates over time, separated into operating millage (general school operations), capital millage (buildings and equipment), and voter-approved special millages — including the recurring teacher-salary referendum on the November 2026 ballot.

Monthly financial reports1

Mid-year financial check-ins published throughout the school year. Compares year-to-date revenue and spending to the adopted budget so you can see whether the district is tracking, ahead, or behind on either side.

Warrant memos (vendor payments)847

A "warrant" is the district's name for a check it cuts to a vendor. Every Board meeting, staff publishes a memo listing every warrant issued since the last meeting — invoices, payroll runs, ACH transfers, refunds. Together these memos are the most granular public record of who Pasco Schools pays: landscapers, software contractors, transportation companies, every line item. Going back to 2010.
