Missouri Attorneys Say State Could Fund Parochial Student Rides
Twenty six Missouri attorneys from the Missouri Bar Association concluded that the state could provide transportation for private and parochial students without violating constitutions. They noted funding from the General Revenue Fund, not the Public School Fund, and tied the plan to health safety and welfare grounds under education laws. Col John J. Griffin announced the view during Human Rights Week as part of push for free and equal school bus service to be presented to Governor Dalton in January. Also notes a golf rule about a two stroke penalty when a ball hits the flag within 60 feet unless in a hazard.
