To amend chapter 160, RSMo, by adding thereto one new section relating to school-supported sports.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the state of Missouri, as follows:
Section A. Chapter 160, RSMo, is amended by adding thereto one new section, to be known as section 160.2525, to read as follows:
160.2525. 1. Within six months after a school district first scores less than seventy-five percent of the available points on its annual performance report and, if applicable, within six months after the state board of education classifies a district as unaccredited or provisionally accredited, the school board or governing body of the district shall consider the issue of whether to continue to offer school-supported sports.
2. The meeting required under subsection 1 of this section shall be open under chapter 610, held after 5:30 p.m., and may be part of a regular meeting. The agenda shall allow at least one hour for testimony from the public. If the school district has issued a revenue bond for the construction of an athletic facility under section 164.231, the district shall disclose the financial implications as verified by the school audit of continuing or discontinuing school-supported sports at the meeting.
3. The school board or governing body shall vote on the issue of whether to continue to offer school-supported sports within thirty business days after the hearing required under subsection 1 of this section is concluded.
