KCTC Student Survey: Administration Transition FAQs

SURVEY ADMINISTRATION TRANSITION

What is changing for KCTC Student Survey administration?

Since 1995, Greenbush has been honored to administer the KCTC Student Survey each year on behalf of KDADS.  

KDADS recently selected another vendor to assume full responsibility for the Kansas Communities That Care (KCTC) administration starting January 1, 2027. Our current contract will expire in December 31, 2026. 

IMPACT TO 2026 SURVEY – DECEMBER 1 IS NEW SURVEY CLOSE DATE

How will the current student survey be impacted?

The survey proctoring window will now close at the end of the day on Tuesday, December 1, 2026. Schools that registered for the 2026 survey must proctor it to all students by that date.

This is a change to what was communicated previously. Greenbush originally anticipated closing the survey on January 29, 2027. However, with Greenbush’s contract ending on December 31, the survey will now close on December 1, 2026, to allow sufficient time to provide districts with limited 2026 survey data by year-end.

What do districts need to do?

Please collaborate with your superintendent, proctors, and other key district contacts to identify and communicate the new survey proctor date of December 1.

When my school registered, we said we anticipated taking the survey in January. Can our students complete the survey now?

Yes! Registered districts may take the survey at any time until December 1. You don’t need to notify Greenbush if your proctoring dates change.

What if our district is unable to take the survey by December 1?

Because Greenbush’s contract ends on December 31, all surveys must be completed by the end of the day on Tuesday, December 1. At that time, the survey will close so that Greenbush can provide limited 2026 survey data to schools in December.

What if our students have already completed the survey?

If all students have taken the survey, no further action is needed from your district. If only a portion of students have taken the survey, you will need to finish proctoring the survey by December 1.

Will districts still have access to raw historical KCTC data (student answers to survey questions) and/or reports (summaries of specific questions)?

We are working through details with KDADS regarding access to historical data. We will keep you updated as we know more.
