Requires school districts to include the amount expended for legal services in their Annual Secretary of the Board Report

SB 793 requires Missouri school districts to report the exact amount spent on legal services in their annual Secretary of the Board Report. This applies directly to all public school districts, mandating they add a specific line item (previously missing) for legal expenses. The bill specifies that if districts omit this information, the Attorney General may investigate and file a civil lawsuit to enforce compliance. This change aims to increase transparency around district legal spending without altering how funds are allocated. The requirement becomes part of the existing annual report due to the state education department by August 15 each year.
