Requiring the Kansas state high school activities association to establish a school classification system based on student attendance and a multiplier factor that adjusts certain schools' student attendance.

HB 2176 requires Kansas private high schools (grades 9-12 not operated by public districts) to use a multi-factor system to adjust their student attendance for classification in activities regulated by the Kansas State High School Activities Association. The adjustment uses a multiplier combining championship history (1.15-1.3), geographic location (0-0.3), and socio-economic status (0-0.15 based on free/reduced lunch eligibility). This multiplier adjusts attendance numbers for classification but cannot change football divisions (e.g., 6-person to 8-person) and classifications are non-appealable. The law expires June 30, 2030.
