HB 267 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Modifies provisions governing public school teachers

HB 267 creates a program allowing Missouri public school teachers to earn salary credit through "certified teacher externships" at local businesses. Teachers completing these externships - structured with business observation and interaction - will have them counted as equivalent to graduate-level course credits for salary increases, as determined by state departments of education and economic development. School districts must apply published equivalency rules to compensate teachers who complete certified externships. The program expires in 2024 unless reauthorized by the legislature.
