Joint Interim Committee looks at school accreditation (AUDIO)

August 21, 2011 By Brian Hauswirth

Schools across the state lose accreditadion every year, and families in those districts are left to decide what to do. The Missouri legislature is creating a joint interim committee to try and come up with a new law that would address all those students needs.

Representative Scott Dieckhaus is the co-chair of the Interim Joint Committee on School accreditation. He says the main goal is to craft a comprehensive plan for what do to when schools lose accreditation and then students want to move to a new district.

He says the legislature tried last session, but couldn’t come to an agreement. He says it needs to be legislated next year because it’s such a contentious issue.

He says it’s important to find a solution that works equally for rural and urban schools, which is made difficult by the way Missouri funds its schools. Dieckhaus says his co-chair, Senator Jane Cunningham, has worked with him on other education bills, so he thinks they’ll be able to get a bill ready before the next legislative session in January. The first meeting hasn’t been scheduled yet.
