Missouri House OKs budget with hike in K-12 school funding | The Wichita Eagle

Under the House plan, close to $3.4 billion is set aside in basic aid for K-12 schools, about a $48 million increase from the current fiscal year and enough to meet funding goals called for under state law. The current version of the budget also includes money to undo proposed school transportation cuts recommended by Greitens.

The proposed funding increase for public schools comes after lawmakers last year passed legislation to lower funding targets in state law, a policy Democratic lawmakers slammed.
