Show-Me State Times

Notes from the February 7, 2023 meeting of the Missouri State Board of Education Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education

To generate this report, DESE puts together a budget request to send to the Governor’s office so that his office can layer his budget recommendations for Education based on DESE’s request. Once DESE receives those recommendations from the Governor’s office, the Office of Financial and Administrative Services creates this Budget report. There will be several other hearings that may adjust this budget; on the day of the State Board Meeting, February 7, the House Subcommittee did their first markup of the report; the budget report will then go to the Senate subcommittee to follow the same process. 

The Governor's office added some items that were not originally on the DESE budget request and some of the items that DESE requested the Governor did not agree with and did not recommend funding. 

This table gives a quick overview of select items from the report; these select items were extracted to reflect trends and priorities from the state on various initiatives in Missouri Education at this time. To view the full Budget Report with all items, follow this link.
