Overview for Missouri

For the 2020-21 school year, the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) collected district-level learning model data; student enrollment data by learning model are not available for the full year, but are provided for October 2020 and February. DESE also collected school-level learning model data as part of the Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer (P-EBT) program. COVID-19 case data for the state’s schools or districts are not currently available. Data on when and if districts had masking policies in place for staff or students are available for districts that responded to the COVID-19 School Data Hub Masking Survey (note that the state did not have a mask mandate in effect during the school year).
