Columbia public schools are 7-and-a-half million dollars richer after voters approved a 40-cent tax levy in Tuesday’s election.

Legislation that would require teachers to work more years in a school district before earning tenure has received first-round approval in the Missouri Senate.

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.
