The Protect Public Schools Amendment proposes an amendment to the Kansas Constitution that aims to ensure public funds are exclusively allocated for secular public schools and prohibits their use for private nonpublic schools. The amendment outlines that the legislature may levy a permanent tax for state institutions of higher education and is responsible for making suitable financial provisions for public education. It specifies that no tuition shall be charged for mandatory public school attendance, except for authorized fees, and emphasizes that public educational funds cannot be controlled by religious sects.

If approved by a two-thirds majority in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, the amendment will be placed on the ballot for the general election in November 2026, or sooner if a special election is called. The ballot will include an explanatory statement detailing the implications of the amendment, clarifying that a vote in favor would limit K-12 public funds to secular public schools and prohibit their use for private institutions, while a vote against would leave the current constitutional provisions unchanged.
