Designating November 14 of each year as Ruby Bridges walk to school day in the state of Kansas.
SB 265 designates November 14 of each year as "Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day" in Kansas, honoring Ruby Bridges' historic 1960 integration of William Frantz Elementary School. The bill requires Kansas schools and students to observe this day annually, with adjustments for weekends (observed the following Wednesday if November 14 falls on Saturday or Sunday). It directly affects Kansas public schools and students through this commemorative observance. The bill creates no new policies or funding but formally recognizes Bridges' role in the civil rights movement and the 70th anniversary of *Brown v. Board of Education*.
