Posted Date: 03/22/2022

KASB is providing details on school funding, parents’ rights and open enrollment bills that were all recommended for approval Tuesday (March 15) by Republicans on the House K-12 Education Budget Committee. 

Under HB 2662, districts would require extensive posting of materials and information on school district websites. The bill provides a list of parental rights, review of library materials, and would affect teacher evaluations and student surveys. Here is a link to the bill’s details. 

The committee also approved HB 2615, which would require districts to determine how many non-resident students they must accept. Here is a link to the details of the bill. 

In addition, House K-12 approved HB 2512, which contains appropriations for education funding, in addition to several policy proposals, including a requirement for districts to use the Math Nation online math resource. Here is a link to the details of the bill. 

KASB encourages school leaders to become familiar with these bills and contact their legislators with any concerns they may have.
