Description
The Kansas State Department of Education (KSDE) manages state and federal funding programs that help schools improve safety, security, and learning environments. Supported work includes building upgrades, technology improvements, emergency planning, and positive school climate initiatives. KSDE combines funding and guidance with application review, monitoring, and oversight of state and federal resources.
The department’s broader funding portfolio includes federal pass-through and entitlement aid, competitive early-childhood grants, and Carl D. Perkins career and technical education (CTE) funding. Perkins supports improved and expanded services for CTE students, preparing them for further education and high-skill, high-wage, or in-demand occupations. Competitive programs such as Kansas Parents as Teachers and Kansas Preschool Pilot support the quality and availability of early-childhood programming in Kansas communities.
