Bill > HB2773

This bill requires all public school districts and charter schools in Missouri to provide instruction in cursive writing, ensuring that by the end of fifth grade, students can produce readable documents with legible cursive handwriting and pass a teacher-created test demonstrating proficiency in both reading and writing cursive. The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education is authorized to create rules to implement this requirement, with those rules subject to standard administrative procedures for review and approval.
