SJR 69 Missouri Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Amends the Constitution to assert the right of parents to participate in and direct the education of their children free from government interference

SJR 69 proposes amending the state constitution to explicitly guarantee parents the right to participate in and direct their children's education without government interference. This constitutional change would directly affect parents and students in public schools by establishing a fundamental right to educational decisions. The key mechanism is adding this parental right to the state constitution, requiring voter approval after legislative passage. It does not create new school policies but would alter the constitutional framework governing education. (Procedural bill; summary limited to 3 sentences as requested.)
