Settlement agreement to improve conditions for Kansas children in foster care
Featured
A federal judge has approved a settlement agreement that should improve conditions for foster children across Kansas.
McIntyre v. Howard was filed in November 2018 by Kansas Appleseed, the National Center for Youth Law, Childrens Rights and Lori Burns-Bucklew against DCF, the Kansas Department of Health and Environment and the Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services. Kansas Appleseed Director Jami Reever tells KVOE News the settlement should improve conditions for foster children. She says the current system is broken and hasn't been serving the best interests of children for years.
