SB 338 Kansas Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Including a home school within the definition of private elementary and secondary school and defining home school.

SB 338 clarifies that home schools are included within Kansas's definition of "private elementary or secondary school" for legal purposes. It defines a "home school" as a nonaccredited setting where a parent or guardian directs their child's education, aligning it with existing private school regulations. This change affects home school families by bringing them under the same legal framework as other private schools regarding pupil records and school oversight, without altering how home schooling is conducted.
