Kansas School Choice
While Kansas does not offer any automatically funded school choice programs, it does provide an open enrollment program by public school district and some funding through business donations incentivized by tax credits.
Kansas Open Enrollment Program
Kansas provides an open enrollment program by public school district, if there is capacity. Kansas school districts will determine and publish how much extra capacity they have for transfer students for each of their schools on or before May 1st of each year.
Tax Credit for Low Income Students Scholarship
Kansas has a Tax Credit for Low-Income Students Scholarship Program, which provides businesses with tax credits for their donations to scholarship-granting organizations. These scholarships help low-income students attend private schools, funded through business contributions rather than automatic public funds. This Kansas school choice program therefore expands your child’s educational options.
