HB 490 -- A+ SCHOOLS PROGRAM Currently, two-year public or private vocational or technical schools that provide services to students under the A+ Schools Program must be accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and a member of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, must be designated as nonprofit organizations, and are prohibited from receiving reimbursements in excess of the rate charged by a public community college. This bill clarifies that these requirements are applicable to private schools only and not to public vocational or technical schools.Copyright (c) Missouri House of Representatives
