Friend of Education Award

The KASP "Friend of Education" Award is given to individuals or groups outside the profession who have supported political action and advocacy on behalf of children to improve education and mental health services for Kansas children, youth and their families. These awardees have worked to make systemic changes in policies that govern the provision of education and mental health services at the local, state, and/or national level.
