Grants Assistance to Child Care Programs
Governor Laura Kelly Announces Estimated $3.5 Million in Grants to Assist Kansas Child Care Programs
TOPEKA –Governor Laura Kelly today announced that Child Care Aware of Kansas, in partnership with the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) and the Kansas Office of Recovery, has launched a new Child Care Health Consultant Network to provide technical assistance to licensed child care providers as they implement COVID-19 health and safety guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
After working directly with a consultant to assess the environment, child care programs are eligible to apply for grant funding to purchase supplies or make adaptations to home or center-based facilities. Child Care Aware of Kansas anticipates providing $3.5 million in grants and supplies.
“Through the assistance and funding provided to Kansas child care providers by the Child Care Health Consultant Network, we will not only protect the health and safety of our child care workers and kids, but also ensure that centers can stay open throughout the duration of the pandemic,” Governor Laura Kelly said. “These grants will help ensure working parents have access to safe, healthy child care facilities and continue to strengthen our economy and keep businesses open. I want to thank Child Care Aware of Kansas, the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, and the Office of Recovery for their innovative approach to fulfilling this need.”
The Child Care Health Consultant Network comes at a critical time for Kansas’ child care system. A recent study by Yale University showed that child care settings were not associated with increased risks of COVID-19 infections provided that appropriate health and safety measures were taken. Kansas’ Child Care Health Consultants work with child care providers to implement the most current guidance from the CDC and KDHE.
With the first phase of implementation for the Child Care Health Consultant Network nearing completion, Child Care Aware of Kansas and state partners are now shifting their attention to long-term sustainability of the Network. In addition to supporting healthy and safe child care settings, Child Care Health Consultants will play a crucial role in protecting and promoting the health growth and development of children and their families.
“The Child Care Health Consultant Network is a critical support for child care programs that are working hard to ensure that children are safe and healthy in the midst of the pandemic. We work with providers to assess the child care environment and ensure that health and safety measures are in place,” said Kelly Davydov, Executive Director. “Child care is essential to a thriving Kansas economy, and families want to know that their children are cared for in a safe, nurturing environment. We’re doing everything we can to ensure that this support continues to be available for child care programs.”
“The global pandemic placed a considerable amount of uncertainty into my day-to-day that I had not expected at the beginning of the year,” said Dawn Chapman, owner and operator of The Nature and Nurture Spot in Gardner, Kansas. “With the help of the Child Care Health Consultant Network, I’ve been able to purchase the supplies I need to help ensure the safety of the children I care for every day.”
To date, 415 child care programs have requested consultations.

Kansas Quarantine List Now Includes South Dakota
KDHE amends travel quarantine list
South Dakota added
TOPEKA – The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) has amended its travel quarantine list to include those who have traveled to South Dakota and the countries of Belgium and Czechia beginning today, November 4. North Dakota and the country of Andorra remain on the list as does attendance at out-of-state mass gatherings with 500 or more where individuals do not socially distance and wear masks.
Kansas evaluates the previous two week’s case rates by 100,000 population for states and countries. Locations with significantly higher rates – approximately 3x higher than Kansas – are added to the list. North Dakota has a two-week case rate 3.6 times higher than Kansas while South Dakota’s rate is 3.2 times Kansas.
This list is effective for all persons returning to or entering Kansas on the effective dates. A comprehensive list of those individuals needing to quarantine for 14 days includes visitors and Kansans who have:
- Travel to or from South Dakota on or after November 4.
- Travel to or from Belgium and Czechia on or after November 4.
- Travel to or from North Dakota on or after October 21.
- Travel to or from the country of Andorra on or after October 21.
- Attendance at any out-of-state mass gatherings of 500 or more where individuals do not socially distance (6 feet) and wear a mask.
- Been on a cruise ship or river cruise on or after March 15.
Travel quarantines do not prohibit travel through Kansas. People from these locations may still travel through Kansas. If this is done, KDHE recommends limited stops, wearing a mask at rest stops or when getting gas and being 6’ from others when doing so. If the destination is Kansas, they would be required to quarantine upon arrival to their destination.
Mass gatherings are defined as any event or convening that brings together 500 or more persons in a single room or space at the same time such as an auditorium, stadium, arena, large conference room, meeting hall, theater or any other confined indoor or outdoor space. This includes parades, fairs and festivals. Mass gatherings does not include normal operations of airports, bus and train stations, medical facilities, libraries, shopping malls and centers, or other spaces where 500 or more persons may be in transit. It also does not include typical office environments, schools, restaurants, factories or retail/grocery stores where large numbers of people are present, but it is unusual for them to be within 6 feet of one another for more than 10 minutes.
Critical infrastructure sector employees who have travelled to these destinations should contact their local health department regarding instructions for application of these quarantine orders while working. Critical infrastructure employees, such as public health, law enforcement, food supply, etc., need to have the staffing resources to continue serving Kansans so the local health department may allow a modified quarantine. Please note the only exemption for these quarantine mandates for critical infrastructure sector
employees is work – they are not to go any other locations outside of work.

HWY 69 Expansion Work Starts This Week
Work on U.S. 69 Crawford County expansion project will start this week
The week of Nov. 2, the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) plans to start a project that will expand a 5.7-mile section of U.S. 69 in Crawford County to a four-lane divided expressway.
The expansion project begins three miles north of the north city limits of Arma and continues north to the Crawford-Bourbon county line. Two lanes will be added to the existing U.S. 69 alignment. At-grade intersections will be constructed at 680th, 690th, 700th, 710th and 720th avenues.
Two-way traffic is being maintained on the existing lanes of U.S. 69 while the new lanes are under construction. Early project activity includes grading and work on box culverts off the highway. Traffic will be flagged through the area during intermittent blasting operations, with minimal delays expected. The speed limit through the project is 55 miles an hour.
KDOT awarded the $21.6 million construction contract to Bob Bergkamp Construction, Inc., of Wichita. The project is north of another U.S. 69 expansion project at Arma, which began in March. The work should complete by the summer of 2022, weather permitting.
Persons with questions may contact Darrin Petrowsky at KDOT-Iola, (620) 901-6557, or Priscilla Petersen at KDOT-Chanute, (620) 902-6433.

Kansas Tax Collections More Than Estimated
October Total Tax Revenues Hit Double-Digit Percentage Points Over Estimate
~October Total Tax collections $62.6 Million More Than Estimated; $43.6 Million More Than October FY2020~
TOPEKA – The State of Kansas continues to see revenue growth over the same month of the last fiscal year. October’s total tax receipts were $596.6 million, an 11.7% or $62.6 million increase over the estimate. That is 7.9%, or $43.6 million, more than October of Fiscal Year 2020.
“As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact Kansans and threaten our state’s economic uncertainty, Congress must pass an economic relief bill,” Governor Laura Kelly said. “While the positive revenue trends are encouraging, the future of this revenue growth will be tied to the support we get from Washington and to every Kansas community using the tools we know work to slow the spread of COVID-19.”
Individual income tax collections were $283.6 million, a 9.1%, or $23.6 million, increase from the estimate. That is 9.1%, or $23.6 million, more than collected in October of FY 2020. Corporate income tax collections were 74.0%, or $11.1 million, more than estimated with $26.1 million collected. That is a 0.5%, or $138,011, decrease from last October.
Retail sales tax collections were up $13.0 million from the estimate with $211.0 million collected. Those collections are 5.1%, or $10.2 million, more than the same month last fiscal year. Compensating use tax collections were $50.7 million. That is a double-digit growth of 30.0%, or $11.7 million, more than the estimate. Those collections were also 21.6% more than the previous October.
“This revenue growth, while unmistakably positive, has to continuously be assessed against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic and the uncertainty it causes for the economy going into the winter months,” Kansas Department of Revenue Secretary Mark Burghart said.
The Consensus Revenue Estimating Group meets Friday, November 6, to discuss the economic outlook of the state and the State General Fund. The Consensus Revenue Estimating Group is made up of representatives of the Division of the Budget, Department of Revenue, Legislative Research Department, and one consulting economist each from the University of Kansas, Kansas State University, and Wichita State University.
