The bill amends K.S.A. 72-4345 to clarify definitions related to private elementary and secondary schools, pupil records, official custodians, and home schools. Notably, the term "which" has been removed from the definitions of "private elementary or secondary school" and "home school," streamlining the language used in the statute. The definition of "private elementary or secondary school" specifies that it includes organizations or home schools that provide education at the elementary or secondary level and comply with the state's compulsory school attendance laws, but are not accredited by the state board of education.

Additionally, the bill repeals the existing K.S.A. 72-4345, indicating a significant change in the legal framework governing private education in Kansas. The act will take effect upon its publication in the statute book, ensuring that the new definitions and regulations are promptly implemented.
