This bill amends the classification system for private high schools under the Kansas State High School Activities Association by introducing a student attendance multiplier factor. This factor will adjust a private school's reported student attendance for classification purposes, ensuring that no private school is classified more than one class above its adjusted attendance. Additionally, the bill establishes a championship multiplier factor for private schools that have won five or more state championships in the past five years, with specific multipliers based on the number of championships won. It also introduces geographic and socio-economic population multiplier factors that further adjust the classification based on the school's location and the percentage of students receiving free or reduced meals.

The bill repeals the existing section of K.S.A. 72-7114 and includes various amendments to the governance structure of the association, such as the composition of the board of directors and the establishment of an executive board and appeal board. It emphasizes the need for representation from diverse groups and geographical areas within the state. The new provisions will take effect upon publication in the statute book and are set to expire on June 30, 2031.
