MO SB1777

School districts in the bottom 5% of annual performance scores or with provisionally accredited/unaccredited status may contract with qualified charter schools or nonprofit education management organizations to operate "Public School Transformation Campuses"

Eligible charter school operators must have no prior charter revocations, three consecutive years of accreditation without provision, and no significant findings on their prior year financial audit

Participating districts receive exemptions from certain state intervention provisions related to lapsed accreditation and school transfers during the transformation period

Transformation campuses receive an alternate performance status and are exempt from academic performance sanctions during the first two school years of operation

The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education may provide state and federal financial incentives to support transformations, with the State Board of Education required to promulgate implementation rules effective after August 28, 2026
