This act prohibits a board of education or the special administrative board of a school district from placing a restrictive covenant in a deed that prohibits the use of real property as a school providing instruction for grades kindergarten through twelve. In addition, any restrictive covenant on real property previously operated as a public school in any deed that has been filed in the office of the recorder of deeds will be void and unenforceable.

Senate Bill Proposed Ending Deed Restriction
A bill was proposed in the Missouri Senate concerning the deed restriction issue that is outraging the St. Louis community.
"School buildings belong to the community."
U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan stated in an interview with the Washington Post:
The statement is extremely relevant to the St. Louis Public School deed restriction issue. The public school board and unions need to listen to the outcries of the community.
The current deed restriction is ethically, economically and logically absurd! And those living in the areas with closed/closing schools and even the U.S. Education Secretary publicly agree.
"School buildings don't belong to us. They don't belong to the unions. School buildings belong to the community."
