HB 2875 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Requires school districts and charter schools to notify parents if schools use tutoring services or programs owned by a foreign entity

HB 2875 requires public school districts and charter schools to notify parents if they use tutoring programs or services owned by a foreign entity with at least 50% foreign ownership. The notice must include the tutoring program's name, the foreign owner's identity, and whether that owner is based in a country designated by the U.S. State Department as a "Country of Particular Concern" (CPC). Schools must post this notice on their website and within any software used for the tutoring service. The bill directly affects parents of students in schools using such foreign-owned tutoring programs, providing transparency about the foreign ownership and country of origin. This policy change applies to all affected schools starting the school year when the notice is posted.
