Overview for Kansas
For the 2020-21 school year, the Kansas State Department of Education provided district-level data on school learning models; data on student enrollment by learning model were estimates and were not able to be incorporated into the dataset. COVID-19 case data for the state’s schools or districts are publicly available from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment. Data on when and if districts had masking policies in place for staff or students are available for districts that responded to the COVID-19 School Data Hub Masking Survey (note that while a state-level mask mandate was in effect until April 1, 2021, counties were able to opt out).

Results are presented for the state overall, by race/ethnicity, and by district poverty levels for school-age children. Data presented in each State Brief are specific to the state’s assessment and are not comparable to other states.
