Missouri Supreme Court and Students: Update
From the St. Louis Post Dispatch:
The Missouri Supreme Court issued an opinion on 7/16 that affirms the rights of students in failing school districts to transfer to neighboring school districts without tuition.
But the implications of the ruling, and how it could affect thousands of kids attending unaccredited school districts such as St. Louis and Riverview Gardens, remains unclear.
Lawyers on both sides of the case are reviewing the decision. The court decision, meanwhile, is not a final action. Instead, the Supreme Court is sending back the case to a lower court for futher review.
Even so, a lawyer representing plantiffs in the case said the ruling is a victory for parents seeking to transfer from failing schools.
