Due to the impact of COVID 19 including extreme staffing challenges and responding to new mandates, KDADS is offering a bye year to current PEAK 2.0 participants through June 30, 2022. Participants can take a bye year and remain in the program at your current level and incentive. This will be the level and incentive that you will continue at for the 2022-23 PEAK year. The bye is not mandatory. If you are making progress with your PEAK work and would like the opportunity to move up levels, you may continue with your normal PEAK work. Any home has the option to follow the steps to move up levels without the risk of moving down a level. Please correspond with the KSU PEAK team for specific details pertaining to your home and to get answers to your questions at ksucoa@gmail.com.
