On July 25, the Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) was informed by the United States Department of Education (USED) that it will begin releasing previously withheld funding under the Elementary & Secondary Education Act (ESEA) Title programs. This decision marks a significant development for Kentucky's education system, as the funding is crucial for various educational initiatives aimed at improving student outcomes.
The release of these funds is expected to provide much-needed financial support to schools across the state, allowing them to enhance their programs and resources. This funding will help address disparities in education and ensure that all students have access to quality learning environments.
