Bill > HB1510

This bill establishes a comprehensive quality control committee for educational oversight in Missouri, creating a new framework for evaluating and improving educational outcomes. The bill defines key performance indicators (KPIs) for students that include attributes like showing up on time, being respectful, following instructions, working hard, demonstrating initiative, and showing discernment. The newly created Quality Control Committee for Oversight will be composed of senior representatives from various state departments, including education, higher education, labor, and others, with members serving four-year terms. The committee will have broad powers to define outcome goals, establish quality control test requirements, and track graduates' performance in the economy and community. Educational entities, including public schools, charter schools, private schools, and home schools, will be required to demonstrate how they reinforce the department's mission of producing graduates who contribute positively to their communities. The bill gives the committee authority to review and challenge school curricula, track graduate performance for up to five years after graduation, and hold educational institutions, the department, and even parents accountable for student outcomes. Importantly, the bill transfers existing educational department powers and personnel to this new oversight structure, representing a significant reorganization of educational governance in Missouri.
