JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – Gov. Mike Kehoe has announced a new task force aimed at overhauling Missouri’s K-12 public education funding model.

The initiative aims to “modernize” the state’s current formula, last revised in 2005, to meet the needs of today’s students and schools.

A 16-member task force has been charged with reviewing Missouri’s K-12 school funding model and recommending changes in a final report to the governor by December 1, 2026. The report will propose a revised formula for how state funding is allocated to public and charter schools.
