The state health department will offer public, private and charter K-12 schools a screening COVID testing program for the upcoming school year

The governor said students and teachers no longer need to quarantine if they were exposed to coronavirus and all parties were wearing masks.

The state board approved the emergency rule on Tuesday with a 5-2 vote. President Charlie Shields opposed the change, warning the rest of the board it will likely become permanent.

The Missouri State Board of Education will relax attendance rules next year so school districts still get paid if they opt for hybrid instruction models.

State officials say Mizzou isn't doing enough to ensure students at six charter schools, including two in Kansas City, are getting quality education.

The state is also trying to figure out how to count attendance for the upcoming school year, when schools could close intermittently to slow new spreading of COVID-19.

For years, the state's tourism industry pushed for a later first day of school. Now schools are asking to start sooner than Aug. 24 in case they have to close for COVID-19 again.
