Authorizing school districts to request and receive an applicant teacher’s employment files from another school district if such teacher was previously employed by such other school district and establishing which school district is responsible for and the custodian of teacher employment files that are records under the Kansas open records act.

Summary

The measure requires any teacher applying for a new district to sign a waiver that authorizes the new district to request the teacher’s employment files from any previous district. Teachers who refuse the waiver could not be considered for the position. The former district must provide the files within 21 days unless a pre‑July 1 2025 binding nondisclosure agreement blocks the disclosure, and the records are shielded from further public‑record requests.
