Hi Parents - If your financial situation has changed during this crisis and you did not qualify earlier, you should apply for free/reduced benefits ASAP. You can receive some additional help from the State and benefits carryover for the first 30 days of the 20-21 school year if you don't fill out an application at enrollment. This is probably not something you are thinking about right now, but it is important that Kristi receive the application right away because they are dated when she receives them and benefits from the State will be based on that date.
Here is a link to the application or you can call Kristi at the Central Office.

The Confidence in Kansas Public Education Task Force has named 92 schools as recipients of the 2019 Challenge Awards.
The awards recognize Kansas schools that are making a notable difference in student achievement despite facing significant challenges in their school population. Since its inception in 2002, more than 1,700 awards have been presented to schools across the state.
Certificates of Merit were presented to schools by Kansas State Board of Education members.
The Challenge Award recognizes schools for outstanding achievement and uncommon accomplishments based on Kansas assessment results in math and reading, graduation rates, chronic absenteeism rates and the socio-economic status of those taking the test.
The Confidence in Public Education Task Force is a nonprofit corporation whose primary purpose is to strengthen confidence in Kansas public education and to increase awareness of the positive aspects of public education in the state. The Task Force was created in 1981.
Members of the Task Force include American Association of University Women; Kansas PTA; Kansas Association of School Boards; Kansas National Education Association; Kansas State Board of Education; Kansas State High School Activities Association; Kansas Partners in Education; League of Women Voters – Kansas; and United School Administrators of Kansas.
