Crossroads Academy-Central Street Missouri Cases

The Baker children were disenrolled from Crossroads Academy-Central Street because their parents refused to provide an original Department of Health and Senior Services' Form 11 for religious exemption from vaccination. The Bakers appealed the circuit court's dismissal of their petition, which sought a trial de novo or other administrative review, arguing the school's decision was unlawful and unconstitutional. The appellate court affirmed, holding that the right to a trial de novo under section 167.161 applies only to disciplinary actions, not to disenrollment for non-compliance with immunization requirements, and that other claims were precluded by claim splitting or unpreserved constitutional issues.
