The Honorable Adam Thomas, Chairperson
House Committee on Education
300 SW 10th Avenue, Room 218-N
Topeka, Kansas 66612
Dear Representative Thomas:
SUBJECT: Fiscal Note for HB 2236 by House Committee on Education
In accordance with KSA 75-3715a, the following fiscal note concerning HB 2236 is
respectfully submitted to your committee.
HB 2236 would permit parents to object to any educational materials or activities on the
basis that such materials or activities would harm the student or would impair the parents’ sincerely
held beliefs, values, or principals. Parents would be allowed to withdraw a student from the class
or education program. The bill would prohibit a student’s academic records to be adversely
affected by this decision. The bill would require local boards of education to adopt policies and
procedures for this option for parents.
Any fiscal effect for school districts associated with the enactment of HB 2236 would be
negligible.
Sincerely,
Adam Proffitt
Director of the Budget
