Education (Early Childhood)

HB 2486 requires Kansas public school districts to enroll only toilet-trained kindergarten students, defined as children who can independently communicate bathroom needs, use the toilet without assistance, and manage personal hygiene after accidents. Parents must provide written assurance of toilet training during enrollment, with exceptions for children with IEPs, 504 plans, or verified medical conditions. School districts must establish policies to address non-toilet-trained students, including referrals for developmental evaluations and support resources. The bill does not apply to children who have already completed kindergarten in another state or meet age requirements.
