HB 812 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Changes the definition of a "qualified school" for purposes of the Missouri empowerment scholarship accounts program

HB 812 revises the definition of a "qualified school" for Missouri's empowerment scholarship program. It specifies that schools must either be FPE schools (as defined in another section) or comply with specific state education laws, including requirements for school terms, dyslexia assessments, physical activity, flag display, and other student safety and program rules. This change directly affects schools seeking to participate in the scholarship program by adding new compliance standards. The bill does not alter the eligibility criteria for students receiving scholarships.
