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.
