Bill > SB1376

This bill authorizes school districts and charter schools in Missouri to employ or accept chaplains as volunteers. The bill defines a "screened volunteer" as someone who has undergone a criminal background check, and it prohibits schools from employing or accepting chaplains who are required to register as sex offenders. The bill also requires school boards and charter school governing bodies to vote by March 1, 2025, on whether to adopt a policy allowing their schools to have chaplains. Overall, the bill gives schools the option to have chaplains provide support, services, or programs for students.
