HB 217 -- Admission of Nonresident Students Sponsor: Hoskins (80) Prior to the beginning of the 2010-2011 school year, this bill requires the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to develop criteria for the admission or rejection of nonresident students from unaccredited districts who wish to transfer to an adjoining accredited school district. No student can be rejected except for reasons specified in the criteria, and appeals to the State Board of Education are allowed.Copyright (c) Missouri House of Representatives
