Leaders in the Missouri House and Senate have indicated that some type of education package will be approved this session. That includes Senator Denny Hoskins from Warrensburg, who notes that a good deal of time has already been spent on Senate Bill 55, or the school choice proposal.

Hoskins says the current proposal does include his legislation dealing with gifted students.

Last week, the Missouri House approved the proposal establishing the Missouri Empowerment Scholarship Accounts Program, and sent that to the Senate for consideration.
