The Kansas Department of Corrections (KDOC) was awarded a $900,000 Project Grant under the Second Chance Act Reentry Initiative (CFDA 16.812) by the U.S. Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Assistance. The purpose of this 3-year grant, with an award period from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2027, is to create an evidence-based program that utilizes a multi-disciplinary, trauma-informed team to support incarcerated individuals on their pathway to strengthen their education background and increase their employment outcomes. The key products and services to be delivered through this grant include providing adult education services, developing a multidisciplinary team to support individuals along their education pathway, increasing the number of individuals obtaining a high school diploma during incarceration, increasing post-secondary education participation, and decreasing recidivism in the state of Kansas. The program aims to offer more than just a GED pathway, creating additional options for incarcerated individuals to earn a high school diploma equivalent credential.
