Endowment eyed to fund youth programs from Kauffman estate
Kansas lawmakers push using funds from Mrs. Kauffman’s estate to back a Youth Authority endowment aimed at reducing juvenile crime. Initial $1 million could come from December taxes paid by Kauffman’s daughter, with matching private donations. Endowment may reach $25 million by century's end and could fund outcome based programs. Proposals also urge public access to juvenile records to improve transparency and coordination across agencies.
