Open Enrollment Amendment Sparks Debate on House Floor
Debate on education reform finally came to Jefferson City this past week in the form of an amendment to an education omnibus bill that would allow for open enrollment across school district lines. The amendment was sponsored by Representative Scott Dieckhaus, a Republican from Washington, MO who said during the floor debate on his amendment ““I could not send my child to a district that was failing to provide my child’s educational needs, knowing every day they were not giving my child the foundation he needs to succeed in life.”
