Modifies provisions governing eligibility for the A+ scholarship program

This bill modifies eligibility requirements for Missouri's A+ Schools Program, which provides grants to public and certified nonpublic secondary schools. To qualify for funding, schools must establish measurable performance standards, eliminate general academic tracks that lead only to a diploma, and implement rigorous coursework alongside partnership plans involving local businesses and community leaders. Additionally, the legislation allows high-performing schools to receive waivers from certain state testing and classification rules after three consecutive years of meeting program standards. Students graduating from eligible schools become eligible for tuition reimbursement at community colleges and vocational schools, with specific exemptions for military dependents.
