Every Missouri child deserves a fair shot.
Currently, outdated school district lines limit a family’s ability to choose the best public school for their child. These lines don’t reflect Missouri values —opportunity, fairness, and freedom for families to make decisions that work best for them.
It’s time to break down these barriers.
What’s the issue?
Many students are assigned to a school based solely on their address, even if another public school nearby would be a better fit. These boundary lines often limit access, especially for working families and rural communities.
What’s the solution?
Open enrollment: a simple, common-sense policy that empowers families to enroll their child in any public school with available space—no matter their ZIP code.
Why it matters:
- Gives parents the freedom to choose what’s best for their child
- Expands opportunity across all communities
- Puts Missouri families—not bureaucracy—in the driver’s seat
- Makes our public schools more responsive and accessible
Let’s put Missouri kids first.
No more waiting. No more barriers.
No More Lines.
