Bill Summary
Expands provisions governing pilot recovery high schools
AI Summary
This bill expands the provisions governing pilot recovery high schools in Missouri by modifying existing law to create a more flexible framework for establishing and operating these specialized schools. The bill allows multiple types of sponsoring entities, including school districts, magnet schools, charter schools, and private schools, to establish recovery high schools, whereas previously only school districts could do so. These schools are designed to serve students diagnosed with substance use disorder, providing both comprehensive high school education and a structured recovery plan. The bill permits the commissioner of education to approve up to four pilot recovery high schools in metropolitan areas, with schools required to be accredited by the Association of Recovery Schools or another authorized organization. Students eligible for enrollment are those in recovery from substance use disorder, with schools prohibited from discriminating based on race, ethnicity, disability, or other factors. The bill also establishes a tuition payment mechanism, where the student's sending district pays tuition based on specific calculations, and includes provisions for potential interstate student enrollment through reciprocity agreements. The state board of education, in consultation with the department of mental health, is authorized to create rules implementing these provisions, with careful attention to administrative rulemaking procedures.
