MO lawmakers increased funding for education

Missouri lawmakers increased funding for kindergarten through 12th grade education during the general assembly session that recently concluded in Jefferson City. First District State Representative Allen Andrews, a Republican from Grant City, says they were able to increase education funding due to an improved overall state budget this year.

"Our budget is around a 30 billion dollar budget, so we saw fully funding the school foundation formula as well as an increase to the transportation part of the foundation for K-12 funding.  Which is very important especially in rural areas."
