HB 1523 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Modifies provisions governing school employee training requirements

HB 1523 updates Missouri school discipline policies by requiring annual staff training on discipline procedures, including handling school violence, supporting students with disabilities, and maintaining confidentiality. It mandates that schools report specific violent crimes and drug offenses (like assault, sexual offenses, or weapon possession) committed on school property to law enforcement and provide students' discipline plans to relevant staff. The bill also requires parental written consent for corporal punishment and adds restrictions for suspended students, prohibiting them from being within 1,000 feet of school property without approved supervision. These changes apply directly to public school districts, employees, students, and parents across Missouri.
