Kansas does not have a charter school state association

Most of the 1,300 public schools in Kansas are operated by one of the state’s 287 school districts. Charter schools account for nine of the state’s public schools, which operate with more autonomy than district schools. 

A charter school application must gain initial approval from a local board of education in a school district and then final approval from the State Board of Education. Denial decisions from a local school board of education are not appealable. Charter schools are not statutorily granted waivers but must request any exemptions from state laws, regulations, and local school district policies from the local board of education, which may or may not make an application for waivers to the state board of education.
