About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Kansas licenses commercial driver training schools through the State Department of Education, under the driver training school provisions of Chapter 8, Article 2 of the Kansas Statutes Annotated. A school that teaches driving for a fee must hold a license, and the license is conditioned on a $2,500 surety bond.

The bond is a student- and public-protection guarantee: it stands behind the school's compliance with the statutes and regulations governing driver training schools, and protects students from financial loss if the school fails to deliver the instruction it was paid for.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Kansas (the obligee), with students as the protected parties. The state sets a fixed December 31 expiration, and the surety can cancel on 30 days' written notice to the state board — so we track renewals and notify you ahead of each year-end.
