Missouri lawmakers propose school transfer expansion to charter schools, no new funding, effective 2026–2027.
Missouri Senators David Gregory and Curtis Trent have introduced legislation to expand public school transfers within and between districts, allowing students to access out-of-district charter schools if their preferred school is full.
The bill, aimed at improving educational access—especially in underperforming districts—would remove current barriers to transfer, though it does not include additional funding for receiving schools.
Opponents warn the attendance-based funding model could worsen financial strain on districts, particularly rural ones, while supporters argue it empowers families and enhances student opportunities.
The bills, which do not limit transfer numbers or add funding, would take effect in the 2026–2027 school year if passed.
