From the desk of Senator David Pearce
JEFFERSON CITY— A measure that focuses on retention, remediation and ease of transfer between two- and four-year higher education institutions, sponsored by Sen. David Pearce, R-Warrensburg, was recently considered by the Senate Education Committee.
Senate Bill 455 would modify the current duties of the Missouri Coordinating Board of Higher Education, which is responsible for certain fiscal, planning and academic programs for higher education institutions, among other duties. The measure would require the board to develop policies for all two- and four-year institutions to replicate the best practices in remediation from sources around the country.
