SRS hearings to focus on child care, development

The Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services will conduct statewide public hearings on its Child Care and Development Fund plan May 5 and May 7.

The fund provides financial assistance to low-income families and helps pay for early-learning initiatives.

During the hearings at Lawrence SRS, 1901 Del., officials will discuss program policies, guidelines and eligibility.

The hearings across the state will be coordinated via the Internet from 10 a.m. to noon May 5 and 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. May 7.
