What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Kansas regulates private and out-of-state postsecondary institutions — proprietary trade schools and private degree-granting colleges operating in the state — through the Kansas Board of Regents, under Chapter 74, Article 32 of the statutes. A school needs a certificate of approval, and that approval is conditioned on a $20,000 surety bond.
This bond is specifically a student-records guarantee. If the institution closes, it must deliver or make available the records of all current and former students so a student's coursework can still be verified, and pay the costs the Board incurs in obtaining those records. The bond backs that obligation.
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 bond must stay active for the life of the certificate — if the surety pays the Board, you repay the surety.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $20,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the Board of Regents. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your certificate-of-approval application or renewal. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $200 at the $20,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
