Bill to ban texting while driving in Missouri moves forward

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:58:07 GMT

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - The Missouri Senate gives first-round approval to a bill that would ban texting while driving.Missouri is one of only two US states without a law that prohibits people over 21 from texting while driving. Right now, it is only considered illegal for drivers 21 and under to text and drive. Top Stories: Officers injured in Maryland Heights crash Potential avenues to change that seem to have bipartisan backing. Democrat and Republican lawmakers both introduced legislation this year to combat distracted driving. The bill making the most rounds lately is SB 56, sponsored by State Sen. Jason Bean (R-District 25). This legislation would require hands-free cell phone use for drivers of all ages. A first-time violation would mean a $50 fine and two points against the driver’s license. Repeat offenses could lead to enhanced penalties. Close Thanks for signing up! Watch for us in your inbox. Subscribe Now Politics...

Letters: Recognize the hard work of staff often “in harm’s way” in our schools

Recognize the hard work of deans often “in harm’s way”Re: “Staffers wounded in shooting at East,” March 23 news storyJerald (Mason) and Eric (Sinclair), I am so saddened that you endured such a tragic event on March 22. As a past DPS administrator, I have had to search students; that is unnerving at best. I don’t remember ever conducting a search without one of my many wonderful deans with me. I’m sure you met last Wednesday’s request without thinking twice.Deans are often the first people teachers and administrators call when they need assistance with a student. They are the first ones out to lunch duty and at after-school dismissal. They are called on to supervise athletic contests and other school activities. They hold conferences with parents. They try to repair harm through the restorative justice process. They regularly put themselves in harm’s way. I think those who don’t work in schools are beginning to get a glimpse of a dean’s workload after t...
