SB 1805 MO
SB 1805 - Under this act, certain school districts shall no longer receive hold-harmless state aid payments or Small Schools Grant payments. Additionally, certain school districts shall have their foundation formula payments calculated using a new definition of the term "local effort" that is based on 2024 property values and local revenue from fiscal year 2025, rather than the 2004 property values and fiscal year 2005 revenue as provided under current law. The following school districts shall not receive hold-harmless state aid payments or Small Schools Grant payments: Northwestern, Keytesville, Blackwater, Cooper County, Otterville, Pilot Grove, and Higbee. (Subsection 1) The following school districts shall receive foundation formula payments calculated using a definition of the term "local effort" based on 2024 property values and fiscal year 2025 local revenue receipts, as provided in the act: Prairie Home, Brunswick, New Franklin, and Glasgow. Additionally, these school districts shall not receive state aid under hold harmless adjustments or the Small Schools Grant. (Subsection 2) The following school districts shall receive foundation formula payments calculated using a definition of the term "local effort" based on 2024 property values and fiscal year 2025 local revenue receipts, as provided in the act: Salisbury, Boonville, Fayette, and Westran. None of these school districts shall receive state aid under hold harmless adjustments. (Subsection 3) This act is identical to SB 1736 (2026). OLIVIA SHANNON

Summary
This bill modifies state funding calculations for Missouri school districts by discontinuing hold-harmless state aid payments and Small Schools Grant payments for certain districts. Seven school districts (Northwestern, Keytesville, Blackwater, Cooper County, Otterville, Pilot Grove, and Higbee) will no longer receive these supplemental payments. Eleven additional school districts will have their foundation formula payments recalculated using 2024 property values and fiscal year 2025 local revenue instead of the current method based on 2004 property values and fiscal year 2005 revenue. The affected school districts are split into groups with varying levels of funding changes, with some groups also losing eligibility for hold-harmless adjustments or Small Schools Grant payments. These changes represent a shift in how the state calculates and distributes school funding based on more recent property values and revenue data.
