Missouri Senate passes sweeping education bill
Fox News
The Missouri state Senate voted 19-10 on Thursday in favor of a sweeping education bill, which is aimed at expanding access to non-traditional K-12 schooling.
The legislation represents a win for advocates of greater access to non-traditional K-12 education, such as private, religious, charter and virtual schooling. Part of the proposal would allow charter schools to open in Boone County, for example.
"We were focusing on providing choices beyond just public school," Republican bill sponsor Sen. Andrew Koenig said.
