MissouriTwo school provisions would wait for full funding of three programs
Two school law provisions could not take effect until the school year after lawmakers fully fund three aid programs and the state assigns that money to districts.
What it does
Two school law provisions could not take effect until the next school year after lawmakers fully fund school payments, student transportation aid, and teacher salary grants, and the state assigns that money to districts.
Argument forWaiting could give districts more funding certainty before the provisions begin, because all three amounts must first be set aside and assigned to them.
Argument againstSchools could wait longer for both provisions if lawmakers leave even one of the three funding programs short.
More detail
The amendment would keep two school law provisions from taking effect before a funding condition is met. The condition applies to Section 162.192 and one part of Section 162.821. Lawmakers must fully fund the state's main school payments, student transportation aid, and a teacher salary grant program. The education department must assign all three amounts to school districts. The school payment amount is measured before any adjustment to the state's funding target. The earliest start for each provision is the school year immediately after the school year when all three amounts are fully funded and assigned to districts.
