The Kids in Classes Act establishes a plan for local educational agencies to directly pay parents for qualified educational expenses if a covered school fails to provide in-person instruction for more than 3 days due to a public health emergency or collective bargaining action. The act defines qualified educational expenses to include curriculum materials, tutoring, private school tuition, and more. The payment amount is calculated based on the covered funding amount and the number of days in-person instruction is unavailable.
