KSDE seeking reinstatement of previously granted
Education Stabilization Fund liquidation period
TOPEKA - On Friday, March 28, at 5:04 p.m. EST, Education Secretary Linda McMahon informed state education chiefs that the U.S. Department of Education was ending the liquidation period for the Education Stabilization Fund-effective immediately.
In 2024, the Kansas State Department of Education (KSDE) secured an extension from the Department to utilize its remaining Education Stabilization Fund resources through March 28, 2026. KSDE designated these remaining funds for educator training and programs aimed at accelerating student learning recovery from the pandemic.
KSDE is now working with its Kansas delegation and the Department's new process to reinstate the previously approved Education Equalization Fund extension for the $22.6 million in remaining funds.
In the meantime, KSDE has directed its contracted service providers to pause all tasks related to contracts that would incur additional costs as we seek a resolution.
