The Kansas Public Education, Amendment 5, also known as Amendment 5, was on the ballot in Kansas on November 4, 1986, as a legislatively referred constitutional amendment. It was defeated. The amendment proposed that the constitution be amended: Article 6, Sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7. The amendment proposed that legislature would provide for a state board of regents and a state board of education. The state board of regents would oversee higher education, which include universities and colleges granting baccalaureate and post-baccalaureate degrees. The state board of regents would have nine members with overlapping terms; and members would be appointed by the governor and confirmed by the Senate. There will be 10 members on the state board of education with overlapping terms; there would be 10 member districts, each comprised of four contagious senatorial districts and each member district would elect one person residing in the district as a member of the board. The commissioner of education will be appointed by the board of education. Local public schools would elect a local school board. The legislature may levy a tax for funding public education. Until repealed, these laws will remain in effect.[1]
