Wrap: The most struggling of students would be given the priority for their choice of school district if their current school district is unaccredited in an amendment to a measure debated by the Senate.

St. Louis County Senator Maria Chappelle-Nadal says this whole measure is about education reform.

On the other side, a Republican Sentaor wondered why we would reward under-achievers over other students. 

The provision was included in a broader bill involving unaccredited schools.

Wrap: Students with the lowest level of schoolastic achievement would be at the top of the line for their school of choice if a measure passes.

St. Joseph Senator Rob Schaaf disagrees with giving struggling students the priority pick of schools.

But the sponsor of the idea said the lowest performing students are the ones with the greatest need.

The head of the line would apply to students who want transfer out of uncredited schools.
