Missouri lawmakers touted ‘record' funding. But KC area schools are seeing major cuts

Have the latest Reality Checks delivered to your inbox with our free newsletter. In May, when Missouri lawmakers passed a slew of budget bills funding the state government, they touted that they maintained record-spending on schools, keeping its funding flat from the prior year. But now some Kansas City-area school districts are laying the blame at the state for expected deficits in their budgets. In Jackson County, the issue is compounded after the county improperly assessed properties, and is now issuing refunds to property owners that overpaid their taxes. School districts are reporting that they aren’t filling vacant positions, are foregoing training for teachers and administrators and are looking to cut costs wherever they can as their budgets come up short. In North Kansas City Schools, the district is hosting town halls to discuss budget cuts with residents. Lee’s Summit School District raised its mill levy last month to account for a projected deficit . “At this point, the conversation has been around if teachers are retiring or leaving

Value public schools? Vote for Betsy Fogle for state Senate | Opinion

Attending Hickory Hills Elementary as a kid I saw firsthand what public school teachers do for their students. They made me feel seen and loved, making learning fun and staying a few extra minutes to make sure I understood something before I left for the day. That willingness to go the extra mile for every child is what made me want to become a teacher. In the eight years since I started teaching, that’s who I’ve tried to be for my students. But being a public school teacher has also made me realize there are other people with major impact on my students’ lives, even if they never step foot into a classroom. As a teacher, I see how the decisions being made in Jefferson City are hurting Springfield students and their families. Public schools are the backbone of our communities. They are there to make sure every child can get a good education, no matter where they live or what their parents’ bank account looks like. But year after year, state lawmakers have neglected our schools, instead focusing on so-called “tax relief.” They promised it would mean more money in our pockets, but it turns out the pockets they
