Education

The Missouri House of Representatives passed a new bill today (Thursday) granting school districts the choice to put advertisements inside and outside their school buses.  House Bill 1273 would help generate revenue for schools that allow advertising on their buses.

Missouri House members have approved legislation designed to help students go to the school closest to them — even if it is located in a different district.

The State Senate is considering a budget that would increase funding for elementary and secondary schools and hold higher education funding steady. 

The American Society of News Editors announced Tuesday it will move its headquarters from Reston, Va., to the Reynolds Journalism Institute in Columbia. 

Education would be spared from cuts but fewer state employees would get pay raises under a budget plan put forth by a Missouri Senate committee.
