Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

Keep IEP and 504 for military students

When a military child with an IEP or a Section 504 plan enrolls in a Kansas district, the district must ensure the child gets the required instruction and services right away. This keeps special education and accommodations in place during the move.

Early school and pre-K for military families

School districts must enroll military children in kindergarten through grade 12 before the family moves, if a parent will be stationed in Kansas this school year or next. Districts cannot require a Kansas address at enrollment. If the district has no open seats under state capacity rules, attendance can depend on residency. If a district offers pre-K, it must enroll eligible military children or place them on a waitlist when full.

Kansas joins school compact for military families

Kansas adopts the Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunity for Military Children. Schools must enroll students quickly with unofficial records and send official records promptly. Students get comparable course placement, special education or 504 accommodations, and fair access to sports and activities. The compact allows excused absences for deployment events, waivers to meet different graduation rules, and sets timelines for immunizations while records are checked. A state council and liaison help families and districts solve problems.
