Gov. Laura Kelly to cancel foster care contracts awarded by GOP predecessor

Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly revealed the decision Thursday to cancel foster care and family preservation grants awarded during the administration of Gov. Jeff Colyer.

Kelly, who took office in January but had raised concerns about the Colyer administration’s decision to rush ahead in November with the grants, said the Kansas Department for Children and Families would rebid the state’s family preservation program and revise grants awarded to the state’s foster care contractors. The governor said she would address her predecessor’s lack of transparency and flawed process of selecting grant recipients.
