APOLLO II
The Kansans Can School Redesign Project
Ten school districts from across the state will take part in Apollo II, which is the next round of the Kansans Can School Redesign Project, the Kansas State Department of Education (KSDE) announced Wednesday, July 15, 2020.
KSDE in April 2020 began accepting applications for the Apollo II Project and the districts were announced July 15 during the Kansas State Board of Education meeting.
In support of Kansas’ vision for education, KSDE launched the Kansans Can School Redesign Project in August 2017. Twenty-nine Kansas school districts applied for the project.
With the July 2020 announcement, 71 districts and about 165 schools are now taking part in the school redesign project.

Even with COVID 19, these schools and their Regional Education Service Centers have worked to create a training and support model that works for them. Schools are still able to work through the plan year, but it is anticipated that some schools will need a modified Plan Year Timeline as they work to become Launch Ready.
