SB 429 Missouri Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Authorizes school districts and charter schools to provide instruction in cursive writing

SB 429 authorizes public school districts and charter schools to include cursive writing instruction in their curriculum. The bill does not require schools to teach cursive, but allows them to choose to do so if they wish. It directly affects schools and students by providing a policy option for teaching handwriting skills. The key provision is a simple authorization, not a mandate, for schools to offer cursive writing as part of their instructional program.
