Kansas to shift Parents as Teachers to federal funding
Beginning in July Kansas will pay for Parents as Teachers with federal dollars rather than state funds. The program will focus on low income families and those facing hurdles such as very low birth weight or parental mental illness. Nancy Keel notes higher income families may still benefit from home visits. Spokeswoman Eileen Hawley says federal funding provides a stable funding stream.
