K.A.R. 91-40-7
The Kansas Special Education Process Handbook, which the Kansas State Department of Education (KSDE) publishes chapter by chapter, reprints K.A.R. 91-40-7 once, in Chapter 3: Initial Evaluation and Eligibility. What follows is the reprint, quoted verbatim from the captured chapters (tools/packets/kansas-packet.txt), including the PDF text layer's line-wrap artifacts, which are reproduced rather than corrected. Where a reprint crosses a page, the quotation is split at the page break rather than bridged across the running head. The handbook reprints the parts of a section a chapter needs, so a reprint may be an excerpt: this is the handbook's text, not the section as the state publishes it, which is not captured here. All dates on this page are quoted from the source, not a deadline calculation performed for you.
As the handbook reprints it
Printed in: Chapter 3: Initial Evaluation and Eligibility
Heading, as printed: "K.A.R. 91-40-7. Child find."
"(b) Each board’s policies and procedures under this regulation shall include age-appropriate screening procedures that meet the following requirements:"
"(1) For children younger than five years of age, observations, instruments, measures, and techniques that disclose any potential disabilities or developmental delays that indicate a need for evaluation, including hearing and vision screening;"
"(2) for children from ages five through 21, observations, instruments, measures, and techniques that disclose any potential exceptionality and indicate a need for evaluation, including hearing and vision screening as required by state law; and"
"(3) implementation of procedures ensuring the early identification and assessment of disabilities in children."
"(c) Any board may refer a child who is enrolled in public school for an evaluation if one of the following conditions is met:"
"(1) School personnel have data-based documentation indicating that general education interventions and strategies would be inadequate to address the areas of concern for the child."
"(2) School personnel have data-based documentation indicating that before the referral or as a part of the referral, all of the following conditions were met:"
"(A) The child was provided with appropriate instruction in regular education settings that was delivered by qualified personnel."
"(B) The child's academic achievement was repeatedly assessed at reasonable intervals that reflected formal assessment of the student's progress during instruction."
"(C) The assessment results were provided to the child's parent."
"(3) The parent of the child requests, and gives written consent for, an evaluation of the child, and the board agrees that an evaluation of the child is appropriate."

Sep 30, 2026 · Record created. Built by tools/render-citations.py from tools/packets/kansas-packet.txt (capture of Aug 29, 2026): one record per K.S.A. or K.A.R. section the handbook's chapters reprint under a heading line of their own, carrying every reprint of that section across the captured chapters, in document order. Source 3 of that packet, a 2018 mirror of the whole handbook, is not used: it carries wording KSDE has since rewritten. Text is quoted, not summarized. Reviewer: Carrie Schluter, reviewed 2026-10-01.
