Kansas SB338 includes home schools within the definition of private elementary and secondary schools.

Kansas SB338 amends the definition of "private elementary or secondary school" to include home schools. It defines "home school" as a nonaccredited nonpublic school where a parent or person acting as parent directs the private instruction of their child. The bill also defines "private elementary or secondary school" as an organization or home school that offers education at the elementary or secondary level and satisfies the state's compulsory school attendance laws but is not accredited by the state board of education.
