HB 400 -- Educational Service Agencies

Co-Sponsors:  Cunningham (86), Moore

This bill creates a new section of law governing the creation of
educational service agencies that develop, provide, or manage
instructional services for school districts.  These agencies must
be designated by contract, organized as nonprofit corporations,
and considered as political subdivisions whose governing board
and employees are subject to the same conflict of interest
provisions as public employees.  Meetings of the board of a
service agency are public meetings pursuant to state law (Chapter
610, RSMo).  The granting of a contract to a service agency does
not relieve a school district of its obligation to provide the
services it has contracted for.
