SB 929 - Under current law, an eligible student may enroll in a Missouri course access and virtual school program course if such student receives approval from his or her school district or charter school. Current law also sets forth the required procedure the school district or charter school shall use to approve or disapprove an eligible student's enrollment in such course, including a requirement that any denial be accompanied by a "good cause justification", and a process for a family to appeal any enrollment denial. This act repeals such provisions, and permits a school district or charter school objecting to a student's enrollment in such program to provide written reasons the district or charter school believes enrollment is not in the best educational interest of the student to such student's parent or guardian, who will have final decision-making authority. This act is similar to SCS/SB 996 (2020) and HCS/SS/SCS/SB 528 (2020). JOSIE BUTLER
