Other proposals laid out include Jones' call for the expansion of charter schools. Jones stressed that the proposed bill would "add another tool in the toolbox" for struggling school districts. Additionally, Rep. Dwight Scharnhorst, R-St. Louis County, pledged to refile Bryce's Law from previous sessions. Bryce's Law would allow a scholarship tax credit for children with autism.
