A KPS global email was sent on Oct. 29 to inform employees about the bill passed by the Michigan Legislature to allow one-time hazard payments for eligible teachers and school support staff to acknowledge their extra effort during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Form 5734, the Teacher and Support Staff COVID-19 Grants Certification is linked here or can be found in the download below. The form must be returned to HazardPayGrants@kalamazoopublicschools.net by Dec. 4.

The Michigan Department of Treasury will send checks directly to eligible staff around Feb. 25.

Any questions about the certification form may be directed to Denise Turner in the Human Resources Department at turnerdk@kalamazoopublicschools.net
