Modifies provisions governing postsecondary plans of elementary and secondary school students
HB 2794 requires Missouri public schools to help students from kindergarten through grade 12 create and regularly update personal plans for their future education and careers. These plans must include graduation requirements, career goals, and a sequence of courses that lead to the student's postsecondary objectives. The bill also mandates specific career literacy instruction time each week and requires students in grades eight and ten to complete career assessments with guidance counselors. Additionally, the state Department of Elementary and Secondary Education must establish online tools for tracking student progress and provide education on various college options, technical degrees, and job market trends.
