JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – Some lawmakers want to approve school choice in Missouri, allowing students to go to a school district outside the current one they live in.
State Sen. Andrew Koenig (R-St. Louis County) sponsors SB 5, which would allow students between kindergarten through senior year of high school to attend school in another district or a charter.
