Missouri Proposes Mandatory Drivers Ed for High School Graduation
A new bill in Missouri seeks to make drivers education a mandatory requirement for high school graduation. Sponsored by Representative Rodger Reedy, the Missouri Integrated Safe Driving Program would be introduced in public schools starting with the 2027-2028 school year. The program, which would be offered for free during regular school hours, would focus on classroom lessons such as studying for a permit, understanding graduated licensing rules, safe driving habits, and common road dangers. The bill has received strong bipartisan support and backing from transportation safety organizations across the state. While the core class does not mandate behind-the-wheel training, schools could offer optional hands-on courses. The measure is still being reviewed by the House, with the goal of improving teen safety on the roads.
