KS HB2486

Children must be toilet trained to enroll in kindergarten in Kansas public schools, with parents required to provide written assurance of toilet training during enrollment

Exceptions apply for children with disabilities documented in an IEP or Section 504 plan, or medical conditions verified by a licensed physician or mid-level practitioner

School districts must establish policies to address students found not toilet trained, including evaluating whether delays indicate a potential disability and referring families to counselors or social workers for support

Districts must designate employees to assist non-toilet trained students, requiring at least two staff present, assistance in private/sanitary settings, documentation in a written support plan, and regular review of the need for assistance

"Toilet trained" is defined as the ability to communicate bathroom needs to an adult, use the toilet independently, tend to personal hygiene, and change clothes independently if an accident occurs
