AI Summary

This bill requires school districts and charter schools to provide instruction in cursive writing so that students can create readable documents through legible cursive handwriting by the end of the fifth grade.

The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education may promulgate rules to implement these provisions, subject to the rulemaking process outlined in Chapter 536 of the Missouri Revised Statutes.
