S.4047

Kids in Classes Act

Introduced·3/11/26

Direct payments to parents for qualified educational expenses if schools close for more than 3 days.

The Kids in Classes Act establishes a direct payment plan for parents if their child's school fails to provide in-person instruction for more than 3 days due to a public health emergency or collective bargaining action. Each local educational agency must establish this plan, detailing how parents will be paid for qualified educational expenses, which include curriculum materials, tutoring, and private school tuition. The payments are calculated based on the covered funding amount and the number of days the school is closed.
