Any K-12 student in Kansas will be able to apply to attend a school outside of their district starting next school year after a bill was passed in 2022 by the Kansas State Legislature.

This policy will allow students to transfer to schools that may be a better fit for them  academically or environmentally without the fees that used to be required for this process. But, it can also cause issues for the school like unknown enrollment numbers, an overwhelmed staff and strain on school resources, according to Judith Deedy, former East parent and the Executive Director of Game On For Kansas Schools (https://gameonforkansasschools.com/) — an organization protecting public education.

“It’s complicated and one of those things that sounds good, ‘Why would anyone be opposed to this? Let people choose the school they want to go to and it’s all the same public school system,’” Deedy said. “But there are problems, the timing of when the applications come in and when they have to be accepted, it’s just difficult for districts to plan around.”
