Kansas governor announces educational funding for low-income students to combat learning loss

Kansas Governor Laura Kelly announced the creation of a program she hopes will combat learning loss on Tuesday. Kelly announced the creation of the Kansas Education Enrichment Program (KEEP). The program will offer low-income families a one-time $1,000 award per child to help pay for certain “educational goods and services”, including tutoring and school supplies, but not private school tuition, according to a press release from the governor’s office. The program is open to families with incomes below 185% of the Federal Poverty Level Guidelines.
