SB 381 - This act creates the Innovation Education Campus Fund to provide funding to innovation education campuses. Public four year institutions of higher education, school districts, and community colleges that offer a combined program of instruction may receive moneys from the fund provided they demonstrate compliance to the Coordinating Board for Higher Education with the following criteria: they actively work to lower the cost for students to complete a college degree; the program decreases the amount of time required for a student to earn a college degree; the campus provides applied learning experiences for students; and students graduate from the campus with direct access to a career. Linn State Technical College may participate in an innovation education campus. Any moneys received by an innovation education campus will not be considered part of the annual appropriation to an institution of higher education or a school district. The University of Central Missouri's Missouri Innovation Campus has already satisfied the eligibility requirements to receive moneys from the fund. MICHAEL RUFF
