Requiring that each attendance center needs assessment be conducted by the local board of education and include input from board members, teachers, school site councils and school administrators and that board members receive certain state assessment data and identify allocations of money in the school district budget and budget summary.

SB 49 requires Kansas school districts to conduct annual needs assessments for each school building, involving input from board members, teachers, school site councils, and administrators. These assessments must be published online and used by school boards when approving budgets to improve student academic performance. The bill also mandates that board members receive state assessment data showing student scores and document how budget allocations address barriers to students achieving proficiency goals. School budgets must explicitly identify how funds are allocated to meet these goals, with all related documents made publicly available online. This bill directly affects school board decision-making processes and budget transparency in Kansas public schools.
