SB 101 Kansas Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Creating the drug abuse resistance education (D.A.R.E.) educator position.

SB 101 creates a new statewide "D.A.R.E. Educator" position within the Kansas Attorney General's office. This role directly affects public elementary and secondary schools across Kansas by requiring the educator to provide drug abuse prevention instruction using an attorney general-approved curriculum, specifically including content on fentanyl and opioids. The bill mandates the educator to report annually to the legislature about curriculum changes and list all public schools participating in the program. The position is funded through available appropriations and becomes effective upon publication in the statute book.
