MO HB961

Restricts participation in Missouri's Career Development and Teacher Excellence Plan (career ladder program) to school districts designated as fully accredited by the state board of education under section 161.092

School districts with provisional accreditation or unaccredited status would be ineligible to participate in the career ladder program, which provides salary supplements to teachers

Corrects a typographical error in existing law, changing "forwarding" to "forward" in reference to the Career Ladder Forward Funding Fund

The career ladder program remains voluntary for eligible districts and operates as a matching fund program between state and local funding
