Repeals provisions authorizing the establishment of charter schools in Boone County

HB 2573 repeals Missouri's existing charter school laws and replaces them with new restrictions on where and how charter schools can operate. The bill limits charter school establishment to specific school districts (e.g., unaccredited districts, districts in cities over 350,000 population, or districts with three years of provisional accreditation) and restricts enrollment in larger districts to 35% of total students. It also narrows eligible sponsors to school boards, specific colleges/universities, and the Missouri charter public school commission. This bill directly affects all Missouri school districts considering charter schools by tightening eligibility rules and operational limits.
