Teachers in Missouri rang in the early days of the school year with a victory in the Missouri state Senate, as a law prohibiting Facebook friendships between teachers and students was repealed.

Missouri Senate Bill 54, which aimed to “more clearly define teacher-student boundaries” by prohibiting connections on Facebook or other social networks, was slated to go into effect Aug. 28.
