EDUCATION NEWS
- ➤ Missouri lawmakers passed a bill that creates a reimbursement process so high school graduates can attend career-certificate programs for free, and the legislation now awaits Gov. Mike Kehoe’s signature. The bill sets academic and participation requirements—2.5 GPA, 95% attendance, 50 hours of unpaid tutoring, and Algebra I proficiency—to support students who do not qualify for existing aid programs. St. Joseph Post
- ➤ On Friday, members of the St. Joseph Mustangs visited Lindbergh Elementary to share their love of baseball and bond with students—reading aloud and helping with lesson plans. The players also encouraged the kids to pursue their dreams by setting a strong example as local role models. KQ2

- ➤ Missouri lawmakers in a special session earlier this month approved an incentive package to keep the Kansas City Chiefs and Royals in the state, and Gov.
