St. Louis and Kansas City Schools get less money in senate bill

February 6, 1997
By: Renee Basick
State Capital Bureau Schools in St. Louis and Kansas City would get less of the money that will be left over from the collapse of desegregation under counter-legislation proposed by senator Ted House.

Renee Basick has the story from Jefferson City.

Money that once went to blur racial boundaries in Missouri schools would become more evenly distributed across the state as a part of Senator Ted House's bill.

House's legislation is a reaction agaisnt another bill designed to pour most of the funds into schools where poverty is prevalent.

He says this is a waste of money because internal structure must change first.

Actuality: Sen. Ted House
RunTime:
OutCue:
Contents: The most important part of the bill is to provide a "soft landing" for schools in the St. Louis and Kansas City area schools.

House says under his bill, money would be taken out of inefficient administration and put into classrooms, where it belongs.
