Gov. Kehoe forms task force to ‘modernize’ Missouri’s K-12 education funding

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.
