The Accessible Pathways Project aims to better understand and support multilingual learners (MLs) who are blind or have low vision (BLV) and those who are deaf or hard of hearing (DHH).
This project is a collaborative effort led by the Minnesota Department of Education and WIDA (housed in the Wisconsin Center for Education Research) that launched in 2025 with a grant through the U.S. Department of Education’s Competitive Grants for State Assessments competition. Kansas is a supporting state in this grant.

Kansas Reads to Preschoolers is an annual event, since 2005, that promotes reading to all Kansas children from birth through age five in the month of November. Through the statewide program, parents, librarians, teachers and caregivers are encouraged to read the chosen title during a selected week and month.
Draft revised educator preparation standards for Technology and Engineering 6-12, and Visually Impaired Birth-Grade 3 and PreK-12 are now available for public comment until Nov. 6.
A website to help Kansas students with disabilities transition from their K-12 schooling to their post high school graduation plans is now available.
