Bill > HJR114

This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to establish and protect parents' fundamental rights in their children's education by limiting government interference. Specifically, the amendment would be added to Article I of the Missouri Constitution and would guarantee parents two key rights: first, the ability to homeschool or educate their children outside the public school system without any government regulation, restriction, or record-keeping requirements, regardless of whether they receive state financial assistance; and second, the right to transparent access to curricula and lesson plans through their public school or school district's website. The proposed amendment would be submitted to Missouri voters for adoption or rejection at the next general election in November 2026 or at a special election called by the governor. If approved, this constitutional amendment would provide parents with expanded educational decision-making autonomy and increased transparency in public school instructional content.
