Missouri HB2157 requires school districts to develop policies for released-time courses.

Missouri HB2157 mandates that school districts create policies for released-time courses, which are religious instruction courses taught by independent entities. These policies must ensure that attendance records are maintained and made available to the school district. Transportation to and from the course is the responsibility of the sponsoring entity, parent, or student. The sponsoring entity assumes liability for the student while under their control.
