Modifies provisions relating to charter schools
HB 405 replaces Missouri's existing charter school laws with new provisions. It restricts where charter schools can operate (e.g., only in specific district types like unaccredited districts or counties with 150,000-200,000 residents) and limits charter enrollment to 35% of total students in districts with over 1,550 students. The bill also specifies eligible sponsors, including local school boards, public/private colleges with teacher programs, and community colleges. These changes directly affect charter schools, school districts, and educational sponsors across Missouri. The bill does not alter funding mechanisms but clarifies operational boundaries and oversight requirements.
