The Missouri Supreme Court is deciding whether the Webster Groves school district must enroll a student from the city of St. Louis.

The court heard arguments Wednesday on a case related to Missouri law that allows students from unaccredited districts to transfer to accredited districts. State lawmakers are also considering how to implement or revise the law. Three school systems in St. Louis and Kansas City are unaccredited. 

The Missouri Supreme Court has struck down a 2010 ethics law that took a long and twisted path to its final form.

The congressional redistricting map passed last year by Missouri lawmakers has been upheld by a Cole County judge.
