The Honorable Adam Thomas, Chairperson
House Committee on Education
300 SW 10th Avenue, Room 218-N
Topeka, Kansas 66612
Dear Representative Thomas:
SUBJECT: Fiscal Note for HB 2475 by Representatives Rhiley, Garber, and Pickert
In accordance with KSA 75-3715a, the following fiscal note concerning HB 2475 is
respectfully submitted to your committee.
HB 2475 would prohibit school districts from beginning the school term prior to Labor
Day, beginning with school year 2025-2026. The bill would specifically not prohibit a school
district from offering extended school year programs, professional development to teachers,
conducting student enrollment services, or providing school tours or open houses prior to Labor
Day.
According to the Department of Education, the enactment of HB 2475 would have no effect
on state aid to school districts. The Kansas Association of School Boards indicates that it does not
have enough information to estimate a fiscal effect on school boards.


Sincerely,

Adam C. Proffitt
Director of the Budget
