Kansas Republicans push through controversial school choice bill.

The Kansas House of Representatives passed legislation to create vouchers for students, allowing families with participating children about $5,000 per student to be used for private school tuition, tutoring, textbooks, educational therapies, online learning programs, school supplies and more. The Sunflower Education Equity Act will have a slow rollout starting with some students being eligible for the 2024-2025 school year, including public school students who have low state test scores and those who qualify for lunch assistance programs. Up to 2,000 private school students whose families earn 300% of the federal poverty line or less will also be eligible.
