Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 14, July 15, 2024
PURPOSE: This rule establishes policies and standards
				  for public school districts and charter schools which choose to conduct summer
				  school programs that will qualify for state aid in accordance with Chapter 163,
				  RSMo.
(1) Summer school
				programs, approved by the local board of education, may be held any time
				between the close of the regular school term and the beginning of the next
				regular school term. School districts with a "year-round" regular term schedule
				may conduct an approved component of summer school during the breaks in the
				regular term. A summer school program consists of a planned schedule of course
				offerings for Missouri domiciled students at the elementary or high school
				level. An approved summer school program for students without disabilities must
				be in session for at least one hundred twenty (120) clock hours. Summer school
				programs for students with disabilities are to be aligned to the Individualized
				Education Program (IEP).
(2) A
				school board may authorize the operation of summer school programs at the
				elementary or high school level, or both. Minimum clock hours for programs are
				included in section (1). An elementary summer school program may include any
				combination of grades kindergarten through eight (K-8). A high school summer
				school program may include any combination of grades seven through twelve
				(7-12). A school district or charter school may operate one (1) or more summer
				school programs at any level. Minimum clock hours apply to each program.
				Schools may "stack" a variety of classes to meet the requirement of one hundred
				twenty (120) clock hours. Under the "stacking" method, typically sixty (60)
				hours of instruction are offered at the elementary level with sixty (60) hours
				of instruction offered at the secondary level for a combined total of one
				hundred twenty (120) clock hours. The clock hours of regular summer school
				classes may be combined with the clock hours of special education extended
				school year programs to reach the one hundred twenty (120) clock hour
				requirement. With the exception of special education programs, individual
				courses or segments consist of a minimum of thirty (30) hours. Minimum time
				requirements exclude break time and lunch time. School districts with
				"year-round" regular term schedules may include instructional hours offered in
				a structured summer school program held during breaks in the regular term.
(A) Title I summer school hours may not be
				used in the "stacking" method per federal law.

Missouri Code of State Regulations › Title 5 - DEPARTMENT OF ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATION › Division 20 - Division of Learning Services › Chapter 100 - Office of Quality Schools › Section 5 CSR 20-100.190 - Graduation Requirements for Students in Public High Schools

Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 14, July 15, 2024
PURPOSE: This rule establishes minimum graduation
				  requirements for public schools .
(1) High School Graduation Requirements.
				Twenty-four (24) units of credit are required for graduation. The requirements
				are stated in terms of the number of units of credit that must be earned in
				each subject area:
Subject Area

Practical Arts

Physical Education
1.0
Health Education
.5
Personal Finance
.5
Electives
7.0
Total Credits
24.0
(2)
				The minimum high school graduation requirements should focus on competencies
				and align with the Missouri Learning Standards. The Missouri Learning Standards
				are located on the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE)
				website.
(3) Local Board Policies.
				Local boards of education must adopt and disseminate written policies
				concerning graduation. The policies must clearly set forth all requirements and
				all allowable variations. Local graduation policies must include at least the
				state minimum requirements and may exceed the state minimums by requiring more
				total units of credit, requiring more units within a particular subject, or
				establishing additional requirements.
(4) Accommodation of Students with
				Disabilities: Local school boards must establish policies and guidelines that
				ensure students with disabilities have the opportunity to earn credits toward
				graduation in a non-discriminatory environment.
(5) Variances and Substitutions. The state
				minimum graduation requirements cannot be applied with absolute uniformity in
				every case. Students' individual situations sometimes require consideration of
				variances and alternatives. If a local board chooses to allow these variances
				and alternatives, it must do so through officially adopted policies and
				procedures that will ensure fair and consistent application of its
				policies.

Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 14, July 15, 2024
PURPOSE: This rule establishes the method of
				  adjustment for inflation for charter sponsorship payment as required by the
				  Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (department). The inflation
				  adjustment serves to keep current the funding for the sponsor oversight for
				  sponsors remaining in good standing by fulfilling the obligations under
				  sections
				  160.400
				  to
				  160.425,
				  161.092,
				  and 167.349, RSMo.
(1)
				Section 160.400.11, RSMo, requires that the expenses of charter school
				sponsorship shall be defrayed by the department retaining one and five-tenths
				percent (1.5%) of the amount of state and local funding allocated to a charter
				school, not to exceed one hundred twenty-five thousand dollars ($125,000),
				adjusted for inflation.
(2)
				Beginning with the 2016-17 school year, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) will be
				used to calculate the inflation adjustment for only those charter sponsors that
				have reached the maximum one hundred twenty-five thousand dollars ($125,000).
				The department will calculate the rate of inflation to be applied to the one
				hundred twenty-five thousand dollar ($125,000) limit as follows:
(A) The base for the calculation is the
				December 2006 CPI as calculated by the U.S. Bureau of Labor
				Statistics;
(B) The CPI for
				December 2006 will be divided into the CPI as calculated by the U.S. Bureau of
				Labor Statistics for the December immediately preceding the beginning of the
				current fiscal year; and
(C) The
				quotient derived will be multiplied by one hundred twenty-five thousand dollars
				($125,000) and the result will be the maximum payment to sponsors for the
				current year.

				  school into unaccredited districts, a metropolitan district, or an urban school
				  district containing most of all of a home rule city with more than four hundred
				  thousand (400,000) inhabitants and located in more than one (1) county.
