The Protect Public Schools Amendment is a proposed constitutional amendment for the State of Kansas that aims to ensure public educational funds are exclusively allocated for secular public schools. The amendment stipulates that no public money shall be appropriated for private nonpublic schools providing elementary or secondary education. It also allows the legislature to levy a permanent tax for state institutions of higher education and mandates that no tuition be charged for public school attendance, 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 sooner if a special election is called. The explanatory statement accompanying the ballot will clarify that a vote in favor of the amendment would explicitly limit K-12 public funds to secular public schools and prohibit their use for private nonpublic schools, while a vote against it would maintain the current constitutional provisions.
