Kids in Classes Act

This bill changes federal Title I education funding rules for school districts. To keep receiving Title I funds, each school district would have to create a "failure to open direct payment plan" by the start of the first school year after the law passes. If a Title I public school does not offer in-person instruction to all students who want it for more than 3 days in a school year because of a public health emergency or collective bargaining action, parents would be paid directly. The payment would equal the school's per-student, per-day Title I funding times the number of closed days, to be used on listed education expenses such as tutoring, books, or private school tuition. Parents would have to submit receipts or return unused money within 30 days after in-person classes resume.
