More Kansas families are now eligible for a $1,000 payment to help fight learning loss. Governor Laura Kelly’s Administration started the Kansas Education Enrichment Program in January as a way to help parents pay for educational services like tutoring or music lessons. Funding comes from the state’s share of Federal COVID Relief money. Now, the program is expanding income eligibility. It will include families whose household income is less than 300% of the federal poverty level. That’s about $90,000 for a family of four.
Parents can use the $1,000 award to pay for curriculum materials, school supplies, academic camps or other education-related expenses. They can’t use it to pay for private school tuition. More information is available at leep.k-s.org.
