Our Students. Our Schools. Our Future.
Last week, the Missouri State Board of Education made two decisions that will affect our students and rural schools across Missouri.
📌 School Funding: The State Board chose not to request full funding of Missouri’s school foundation formula for 2027-28. This year, that underfunding left North Callaway R-1 approximately $250,000 short. For rural districts operating with tight budgets, decisions like this matter.
📌 A-F Report Card: The State Board also approved a new A-F system for grading schools. We appreciate the additional time districts have been given to review their data before it is released, but many details remain unknown. We will continue to keep our families and community informed.
The State Board does not have the final word on school funding. The Governor and the Missouri General Assembly hold that responsibility. North Callaway R-1 will continue to advocate for our students, our staff, and the future of rural education.
