State House Budget Chairman Allen Icet, Wildwood, is proposing giving Missouri’s public schools the full funding called for in the foundation formula. To that I say - “Go Allen!”
Icet’s budget plan released today does not cut funding for schools as is currently being proposed by Gov. Nixon. Icet proposed cuts elsewhere in the State’s proposed $23+ billion budget.
Currently, around $5.4 billion of the state’s budget goes to Elementary and Secondary education. That’s second only to social services. Transportation comes in 3rd at $2+ billion.
