Education. Public education has been underfunded and under attack for many years in Missouri. Tax payer money should support public schools, not private schools. Our rating nationally is usually 49-50th in areas such as teacher starting pay and tax payer support. Our children deserve better!
Adequate funding for public education would be my top priority for legislative action. In the past years funds have been diverted from public schools to private schools and school choice has allowed children to move out of district, taking their funding with them. Both of these have been especially hard on rural school districts. I would address this with a review of the school funding formula and revisions to move funds from private schools to public schools.
