This state publishes the visits that cited something but not the ones that cited nothing, so there is no city rate to set this beside.

Fixed?
The latest correction deadline was March 23, 2026. Missouri DESE Office of Childhood does not publish whether it was made.
Most serious
Missouri DESE Office of Childhood does not publish a severity level for a citation, so there is no most-serious to name.

Missouri DESE marks every rule section of an inspection Compliance, Violation or Not Observed, and for each violation publishes the inspector’s observation, the rule quoted in full, the correction required and a deadline. A complaint investigation is published where the state substantiated a rule violation, with its disposition.
