SB 56 Missouri Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Prohibits diversity-equity-inclusion requirements in school districts and charter schools

SB 56 prohibits public school districts and charter schools from requiring diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, policies, or activities. The bill directly affects school administrators, staff, and curriculum developers who currently implement or design such initiatives. It bans mandatory DEI training, curriculum changes, or student group requirements tied to these concepts. This is a substantive policy change that would alter how schools structure educational programs, not a procedural or commemorative measure.
