Modifies provisions relating to the age for school entry

HB 2720 revises Missouri's school enrollment age requirements. It lowers the minimum age for public, private, parochial, and parish schools from seven to five years old, while maintaining a minimum age of seven for home schools and FPE (Full-Time Equivalent) schools. The bill requires parents to ensure regular school attendance for children aged five to the district's compulsory attendance age, with exceptions for medical conditions, documented mental health concerns, or employment at age 14. It also prohibits state agencies from dictating curriculum for religious schools and clarifies that home school/FPE credits require 100+ hours of instruction.
