Kansas Communities that Care (KCTC) Survey

Piper USD 203 administers the Kansas Communities that Care (KCTC) Survey to students in grades 6, 8, 10, and 12 whose parents provide permission (written or electronic) for their student(s) to participate. Students also have the option to opt-out of participation even if their parents have approved. 

Regarding the KCTC survey, it is a tool to help schools understand how students behave, think and feel about alcohol, marijuana and other drug use, bullying and school safety. The KCTC survey measures teen substance use, delinquency, and related problem behaviors in schools and communities. The survey gives schools insight into the problems students face and shows what educators can do to help them succeed. The information is important for planning effective prevention programs in schools and the community and provides data to assist in applying for grant funding. In order to protect student privacy, all responses are anonymous, and all participation is voluntary.

Please note, the district will only be administering questions from the Depression-Suicide and Family Domain sections.

As part of the recommendations of HB 2576, the district is posting information about the KCTC survey at the link below. Please feel free to look through the survey to learn more about its purposes and how it can help our schools serve the needs of our learners.

Kansas Communities that Care Survey Overview

The District has received questions regarding the JBCC Non-Resident Enrollment Policy that will go into effect in all Kansas for the 2024.2025 School Year.

Per policy, the Board will allow non-resident students to enroll in and attend the schools of the district if the Board of Education’s capacity determination finds there are open seats for such students. On or before May 1 of each year, the superintendent shall present the recommendations concerning capacity and student-to-teacher ratios to the board for adoption, modification, and the board shall determine, for each grade level in each school building of the school district for the next succeeding school year. This process will begin this year (2024). Please refer to JBCC-3 for further information regarding capacity.

On or before June 1 through June 30, district administration shall accept applications from nonresident students. Prior to this process beginning, the district will post notifications and directions for completing the application on the district website (www.piperschools.com).

If the number of applications for a grade level in a school building is less than the number of available seats for that grade level in the school building, the nonresident students shall be accepted for enrollment and attendance at the school district.

If the number of applications for a grade level in a school building is greater than the number of available seats for the grade level in the school building, district administration shall randomly select nonresident students using a confidential lottery process. This process shall be completed on or before July 15 of each year. The district shall provide to the parent or person acting as a parent of a nonresident student who was not accepted for or denied enrollment at such school district the reason for the nonacceptance or denial and an explanation of the nonresident student selection process. Please refer to JBCC-4 through JBCC-6 for details on the selection process.

Due to capacities being met at all buildings, we will not be accepting outside enrollment for the 24-25 school year.

Please feel free to access the national ACT dates for the current school year along with other applicable information at the official ACT website, which is linked below. Additionally, information for the WorkKeys Assessments are also linked below for your convenience.
