Four million poor Americans would be excluded due to costs and admin hurdles.

State Will Not Relax School Day Regulation
Missouri officials say the 174 clear class days in a 180 day term will remain mandatory, with changes only by the legislature. Commissioner Arthur Mallory stresses learning time cannot be shortened, notes districts face varied missed days, and mentions possible emergency powers as Gov. Teasdale considers options. Many districts await full make-up requirements and end-of-year implications for families and summer plans.
