(FRANKFORT, KY) – The Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) is seeking public comment on its request for a waiver (called a Tydings waiver) to use carryover federal funds rather than returning them to the federal government.
According to 34. C.F.R. 76.709, KDE must return to the federal government any federal grant monies not obligated by the end of the grant carryover period. This waiver will apply to the following programs:
- Emergency Assistance to Non-Public Schools funding through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARP EANS);
- Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief funding through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARP ESSER); and
- Title III, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA).
If the waiver is granted, these funds will be used to support the ongoing administrative costs for the identified programs.
A description of the proposed waiver is available on the KDE website.
Any individual or organization may submit written comments on the proposed waiver through the close of business on June 24.
Send written comments on the proposed waiver to: Kelly Foster, Kentucky Department of Education, 300 Sower Boulevard, Fifth Floor, Sower Building, Frankfort, KY 40601, or email Kelly Foster.
