The resolution emphasizes the significant role of the United States Department of Education in managing federal public education funding, which includes billions of dollars allocated to states. It highlights the current trend of shifting governance back to the states and advocates for a reduction in federal oversight of public education. The resolution points out that while some federal funds are distributed directly to school districts, a considerable portion comes with stringent compliance requirements that can hinder effective use at the state level.

In response, the Kansas Legislature urges the U.S. Department of Education to continue providing certain federal funds as pass-through funding, specifically those under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. Furthermore, it calls for all other federal education funding to be distributed to Kansas in the form of block grants, allowing the state greater flexibility in utilizing these funds for educational improvements without federal restrictions. The resolution concludes with a directive to send copies to key federal officials, including the President and the Secretary of Education.
