Written testimony is the most powerful tool you have. It becomes part of the permanent legislative record. Committee members read it before they vote. Unlike a phone call or email that gets skimmed, testimony is entered into evidence and can be referenced during debate on the House floor. Submit yours to house.ed@ks.gov when a hearing is scheduled.

Common Questions
Doesn't this punish private schools?▼
No. HB 2176 does not ban, fine, or restrict any school. It applies a multiplier to schools that consistently win titles, moving them to a higher classification where competition is more balanced. Missouri has used this exact system since 2003. Private schools still play — they just play against comparable competition.
What about small private schools that don't win anything?▼
The Success Multiplier only affects schools that consistently win state championships. A small private school with zero titles would not be reclassified. The multiplier is merit-based — it targets the competitive advantage, not the institution type.
Isn't this just about winning trophies?▼
No. When small public schools consistently lose early in the postseason, it affects participation, funding, and community support. Coaches lose players. Programs shrink. In contact sports, mismatched talent pools create real safety concerns. Fair classification protects the entire ecosystem of high school athletics.
Does any other state do this?▼
Yes. Missouri (MSHSAA) has used a Success Multiplier since 2003. Schools that win titles have their enrollment multiplied for classification purposes, moving them up to a level that matches their actual competitiveness. Texas, Ohio, and other states use separate playoff brackets. This is not radical — Kansas is behind the curve.
