AI Summary

  • Beginning in school year 2026-27, seven specifically-identified school districts (defined by population ranges of their encompassing cities and counties) would be completely prohibited from receiving state aid under sections 163.031 and 163.044

  • Four additional school districts would have their state aid calculated using a modified "local effort" definition based on calendar year 2024 property valuations and fiscal year 2025 revenue figures, and would be excluded from section 163.044 funds

  • Four more school districts would have their state aid calculated using the same modified "local effort" definition and would be excluded from subsection 2 of section 163.031

  • The modified "local effort" calculation freezes assessed property values at 2024 levels and revenue amounts at fiscal year 2025 levels for computing state aid, rather than using current-year figures

  • Districts are identified through highly specific population descriptors (e.g., "a village with more than sixty but fewer than sixty-seven inhabitants") rather than by name, targeting approximately 15 total school districts across Missouri
