The Protect Public Schools Amendment is a proposed constitutional amendment for the State of Kansas that aims to ensure public funds are exclusively allocated for secular public schools and prohibit their use for private nonpublic schools. The amendment seeks to amend Section 6 of Article 6 of the Kansas Constitution, allowing the legislature to levy a permanent tax for state institutions of higher education while mandating that public educational funds be appropriated solely for public schools. It also stipulates that no tuition shall be charged for students required by law to attend public schools, except for authorized fees.

If approved by two-thirds of both the House of Representatives and the Senate, the amendment will be placed on the ballot for the general election in November 2026, or at an earlier special election if called. The ballot will include an explanatory statement clarifying that a vote in favor of the amendment would explicitly limit K-12 educational public funds to secular public schools, while a vote against it would leave the current constitutional provisions unchanged.
