Bill > SB88

This bill repeals the provisions that previously allowed charter schools to be established in Boone County. Specifically, the bill modifies existing Missouri law regarding charter schools by removing the provision that permitted charter schools in counties with between 150,000 and 200,000 inhabitants. The bill maintains the existing restrictions on charter school establishment, which generally limit them to metropolitan school districts, urban school districts with large populations, unaccredited school districts, provisionally accredited districts that have maintained low performance for three consecutive years, and fully accredited districts sponsored only by the local school board. The bill preserves most of the existing detailed regulations surrounding charter school operations, sponsorship, funding, governance, and oversight, but eliminates the specific geographic exception that would have allowed charter schools in Boone County. This change effectively prevents new charter schools from being established in Boone County and removes the previous legal pathway for such schools in that specific county.
