HCR 5015 Kansas House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Urging the United States department of education to distribute certain federal moneys in the form of block grants to the state.

This Kansas legislative resolution urges the U.S. Department of Education to distribute all federal education funding to the state as a single block grant rather than through various specific grants. The bill seeks to reduce federal requirements attached to these funds, allowing the state more flexibility in how it uses the money for local education needs. While it encourages the continuation of current pass-through funding for programs like special education, it specifically requests that other federal funds be given without restrictions on their use. The resolution is a formal request sent to federal officials and does not have the power to change federal law or mandate how the Department of Education must distribute funds.
