SB 1316 Missouri Senate · 2026 Regular Session

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

SB 1316 prohibits public school districts and charter schools from requiring diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs or policies. The bill directly affects school administrators and staff who would no longer be mandated to implement such initiatives. It creates a clear policy change by banning these specific requirements in educational settings, without specifying alternative approaches or enforcement details. This is a substantive policy shift, not a procedural measure.
