What Kutztown Area School District does

Kutztown Area School District (KASD) is a Pennsylvania public school district headquartered at 10 Deisher Lane, Kutztown, PA, serving approximately 1,338 K-12 students across a 99-square-mile attendance area — the geographically largest district in Berks County. The district operates two elementary schools (Greenwich-Lenhartsville and Kutztown Elementary), Kutztown Area Middle School, Kutztown Area High School, and the Kutztown Virtual Academy for online learners. KASD is governed by an elected nine-member Board of School Directors and led by Superintendent Christian Temchatin with Business Administrator Beth Ann Siteman.

The district's core service is comprehensive K-12 public education, including special education (IDEA, Section 504, gifted/Chapter 16), ESL, Title I support, Advanced Placement, career and technical education, athletics, and visual/performing arts. Service delivery relies on third-party EdTech platforms: PowerSchool for the student information system, Canvas LMS for middle and high school instruction, SchoolCafe for food service POS, Finalsite for the website, and ParentSquare for family communications. Transportation is a major operational asset, covering nearly 1,300 bus stops and 3,200+ daily miles.

Revenue is generated primarily through local property taxes, Pennsylvania state basic education funding, federal Title and ESSA programs, food service receipts (with free breakfast for all students statewide and subsidized lunches), and ancillary sources including transportation reimbursements for charter and non-public school students, facility rentals, and KASD Education Foundation donations. Enrollment is geographically constrained to district residents.
