Establishes a quality control committee for oversight and enacts education reforms

HB 1510 reorganizes Missouri's education structure by abolishing the current Department of Education and transferring its functions to a new Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. It establishes a "Quality Control Committee for Oversight" composed of state agency representatives and legislative appointees to define and monitor "Key Performance Indicators" (KPIs) like student punctuality, respect, and work ethic. The bill requires all high schools to ensure graduating students meet these KPIs before awarding diplomas or high school equivalency certificates. This directly affects all educational entities in Missouri, including public schools, charter schools, private schools, home schools, and specialized schools like the Missouri School for the Deaf.
