MSBA UPDATES
IGDA- MSBA has updated this policy to comply with Senate Bill 63 (2025), which requires that school districts allow resident students who are educated in a home school, Family Paced Education (FPE) school, or virtual school to participate in athletics, fine arts activities, and integrated cocurricular activities that the district offers if the students meet other eligibility criteria. See sample policy IGDAA in this update for more details
BBBA- MSBA has updated this policy based on House Bill 199 (2025), which created a new requirement for candidates running in school board elections. This change is outlined in § 162.014, RSMo.
Have not been convicted of or entered a guilty plea for the offense of assault in the first or second degree under § 565.050 or § 565.052, RSMo., or the offense of harassment in the first or second degree under § 565.090 or § 565.091, RSMo., where such assault or harassment occurred on school district grounds. § 162.014, RSMo.
JFCD - MSBA has created this NEW policy to comply with a new statute (§ 162.207, RSMo.) that requires districts to adopt a policy that prohibits student use of personal communication devices during the school day. Though this law has exceptions, students are generally not permitted to use phones, smartwatches, personal laptops, tablets, and other electronic personal communication devices during instructional time, mealtimes, breaks, time between classes, or study halls.
This policy applies to all students within the district for the 2025–26 school year and all subsequent school years until August 28, 2032. District employees and volunteers who act in good faith and follow the disciplinary procedures and measures adopted under this policy by the school board will be held harmless and immune from any liability for their actions. See § 162.207, RSMo., for more details.
MSBA's standard version of JG-R1 already prohibits phone use during the school day. Please check your student discipline codes, handbooks, and website to ensure they align with this policy.
IGDAA- This is a NEW policy MSBA has created to assist districts in complying with the requirements of Senate Bill 63 (2025). That bill requires school districts and charter schools to allow students attending a home school, Family Paced Education (FPE) school (a home school that may accept state voucher funds), or a virtual school to participate in district activities and events without having to attend classes in the district. This policy uses the term "resident participant" (RP) student because that is the term the Missouri State High School Activities Association (MSHSAA) is using
IGD- MSBA has updated this policy to comply with Senate Bill 39 (2023), which prohibits student athletes from competing in athletic competitions designated for the biological sex opposite to the biological sex stated on the student's birth certificate or other government record. The birth certificate or record relied upon must have been created at the time of birth or soon after.
IGCD- This policy governs part-time enrollment with a hosted Missouri Course Access and Virtual School Program (MOCAP) provider, full- and part-time enrollment with other MOCAP providers, and enrollment in other virtual course options provided through the district. Students who seek full-time enrollment with a hosted MOCAP provider must enroll pursuant to policy IGCDA.
IGBI - MSBA has updated this policy to align with Senate Bill 63 (2025), which amended § 167.042, RSMo., to eliminate the annual, written declaration of homeschooling (which was always optional) and expand the statute to apply to private, parochial, and Family Paced Education (FPE) schools.
MSBA has also made some clarifying changes to this policy. While the use of the term "Family Paced Education" seemed like an anomaly last year, it appears that the legislature intends to keep using this term. For that reason, MSBA has included the formal definition of the term.
MSBA has taken this opportunity to amend language regarding the MOScholars Program. While state law created the MOScholars Program as a voucher program that relied on donations and tax credits for funding, this year the legislature provided direct funding for the program from state revenues. While it is unclear whether this is legal, MSBA has removed the reference to tax credits because some vouchers might be funded directly by the state.
