Establishes the "Classical Education Grant Program" for the purpose of assisting school districts with providing programs in classical education
This bill creates the Classical Education Grant Program to provide funding to public school districts in Missouri that wish to offer classical education courses. The program defines classical education as a curriculum focused on developing skills in language and mathematics while cultivating knowledge in the humanities, natural sciences, and theology. To receive grants, school districts must submit an application detailing their educational goals, course plans, available community resources, and necessary support. The state Department of Elementary and Secondary Education will administer the fund, which can be supported by state appropriations and private donations, and will establish rules to oversee the distribution of these funds.
