HOUSE PASSES VIRTUAL SCHOOLS BILL
The House gave final passage to House Bill 1275 (Brian Baker) March 30. The bill requires the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to establish a Missouri Virtual School. Missouri NEA supports the concept of H.B. 1275 as a proactive effort by public educators to lead the way in virtual education. The bill will require extra state funding to fund these additional services. The bill must ensure that DESE will strive to maintain the key elements and values of public education: high quality teachers, quality interactions of teachers and students, transparency and accountability and equity of access for all.
