| MO | Signed into law 06/2003 | P-12 | Requires that, in determining whether it is necessary to change the boundary line between seven-director districts, the board of arbitration must base its decision upon the following:

(2) The presence of actual educational harm to school-aged children, either due to a significant difference in the time involved in transporting students or educational deficiencies in the district which would have its boundary adversely affected; and
(3) The presence of an educational necessity, not of a commercial benefit to landowners or to the district benefitting for the proposed boundary adjustment. http://www.senate.state.mo.us/03info/billtext/tat/sb686.htm
