Missouri Course Access Program (MOCAP)

Osborn High School makes every attempt to meet the curricular needs of all of its students by

offering a wide range of course offerings and opportunities, both face-to-face and online. A list

of the current OHS face-to-face course offerings can be found in the OHS Course Description

and Career Planning Guide.

In cases where student need is not being met by these course offerings, the recently passed

Senate Bill 603 (referred to as "MOCAP") attempts to address this gap. MOCAP was passed

with the intent of expanding the range of courses and opportunities offered to students,

offering courses for students when there are no qualified teachers to teach the course, and

allowing students to take a course not offered at the local school district

In brief, MO Senate Bill 603 states that:

Students who have been enrolled full time in a public or charter school for at least one semester

immediately prior, may enroll part-time or full-time in the Missouri Course Access and Virtual

School Program (MOCAP). Enrollment must be approved by Osborn High School. A student with

a documented medical or psychological condition that prevented the student from attending

school during the previous semester shall be exempt from the requirement that a student is

enrolled full-time in and attended a public school for at least one semester in order to enroll in

Missouri Course Access and Virtual School Program courses.

If you feel that your or your child might benefit from this program, enrollment takes place the

same time enrollment takes place for other OHS courses. Students should enroll in MOCAP

courses the same way they enroll for regular OHS courses. Please talk with the principal or

counselor to request a MOCAP course through OHS.
