Commercial Printing Legislature approves boost to Missouri school districts Published Wednesday, May 5, 2004 JEFFERSON CITY (AP) - The Missouri General Assembly passed an education budget yesterday that raises basic aid to school districts by more than 5 percent - praised as progress by some lawmakers but criticized by others as inadequate. Facing a Friday deadline to approve the entire $18.8 billion budget for the fiscal year that starts July 1, legislators also sent Gov. Bob Holden the bills that fund higher education, transportation, state employee benefits and the Department of Revenue. House and Senate negotiations on three of the dozen budget bills remained stalled on Medicaid funding, pay raises for the Missouri State Highway Patrol and other issues.

Home About Newsletter Press Releases ... Take Action You are here: Home Newsletter 2002 Liberties > Legislative Wrap-up 2002 Missouri General Assembly Wrap-up By Marsha Richeson and Matt LeMieux The 2002 Missouri General Assembly session was another lively one, with ACLU/EM tracking over 100 bills. Below is a summary of the bills upon which we spent most of our time tracking and lobbying. Criminal Justice HB 1076 (Jolly -D) sought to increase the time a person arrested for a felony could be held without a charge from 20 hours to 32 hours. ACLU/EM successfully worked to prevent passage of this bill, but we expect to see it back in 2003. Death Penalty 2002 was another busy year for abolitionists. In the Senate, three bills were introduced seeking to place restrictions on the imposition of capital punishment. SB 819 (Bentley-R) (Also, HB 1836 Hosmer-D) sought to raise the minimum age for imposition of the death from sixteen to eighteen. Despite receiving a favorable vote in committee, the bill was never heard for debate. SB 1022 (Rohrbach-R) (Also, HB 1766 Monaco-D) provided that a judge had to declare the punishment at life imprisonment without parole if the jury was unable to decide upon punishment in a trial for murder in the first degree. The bill received favorable committee votes, and eventually was added as an amendment to an omnibus judiciary bill (HB 1962) late in the session. The omnibus bill failed to pass for reasons unrelated to the death penalty provision.

The new school year will bring thousands of new books to 46 school districts, libraries and organizations in Missouri that are eligible to benefit from a settlement between Attorney General Jay Nixon, Toys R Us and three other major toy makers. Nixon and state Attorneys General nationwide sued the toy manufacturers in 1999, alleging the companies conspired to withhold some popular toys from discount and warehouse chains in a price-fixing scheme. "The actions of the toy makers affected children and their parents, and it is appropriate that the court order directs this money to the benefit of children. I am pleased that the emphasis will be on children's reading programs," Nixon said. "This is an outstanding opportunity to secure new books for libraries and to help instill a lifelong love of reading and learning in our children." Nixon is teaming up with the national Reading is Fundamental program to distribute the books to Missouri libraries selected by RIF to benefit from the $258,830 award to the state. The award will provide for more than 20,000 new books appropriate for grades K-3 and an additional $26,599 in direct grant money, allowing distribution of books for ownership to children in RIF programs in Missouri.

Bob Holden today announced his support for a lawsuit seeking adequate and equitable funding of public education. In a speech to the State Board of Education, Holden also called on board members to help expedite the suit and to help the Legislature understand the gravity of school funding problem. On Tuesday, 243 Missouri school districts sued the State of Missouri for its failure to adequately and equitably fund education. "The districts that filed this suit are right," Holden said. "They are taking the only course of action left to them by a Republican Legislature that has turned its back on our school children." According to Article IX of the Missouri Constitution, it is the duty of the General Assembly to provide adequate and equitable funding for public education. "Nobody wants the Courts in our classrooms," Holden said. "But if it’s a choice between the Courts intervening in school funding or the Legislature starving our schools and robbing us of our future, I know which course I will choose."

Contact Reference Home Site Map Information from the Callaway County Public Library Morris Frederick Bell General M. Fred Bell had a distinguished career as an architect and businessman. He served as adjutant general of the state of Missouri from 1897 to 1901 during the Spanish-American War. He left his mark on Fulton and Callaway County as the architect of Missouri School for the Deaf, Fulton State Hospital, Callaway County Public Library, First Christian Church, Pratt's Theatre, buildings at Westminster and William Woods, plus many homes. General Bell was born near Hagerstown, Maryland, August 18, 1849, son of Frederick and Susan (Tritle) Bell. He was a descendant of Captain Peter Bell, an American officer in the Revolution. Bell grew up on a Maryland farm, was educated in public schools, and in 1869 was graduated from Duff Commercial College at Pittsburgh, where he had specialized in architecture. Bell came to Missouri in 1869, first locating in Mexico. He then spent a short time in Kansas, but returned to Missouri and established a home at Fulton in 1871. On November 26, 1873, he married Miss Marie Dreps. They had two daughters, Beulah and Kathryn. Beulah married George W. Berry, of Berkley, California. Kathryn married Fred T. Montgomery, of Fulton. They named their son Fred Bell Montgomery in honor of General Bell. In 1882, General Bell established a telephone exchange in Fulton. It was the fifth telephone exchange in the state of Missouri. The telephone at that time was still experimental. Only six years had passed since the first successful demonstration of the instrument had occurred at Philadelphia. Bell was manager of the Fulton telephone exchange from 1882 until 1929.

Back to April Ed Reporter NUMBER 123 THE NEWSPAPER OF EDUCATION RIGHTS APRIL 1996 Missourians Alarmed by School-to-Work Proposals by Oliver Starr Jr. ST. LOUIS, MO - Missouri Governor Mel Carnahan and his education department have created a 116-page "School-to-Work, Roadways to Success" federal grant proposal calling for the complete restructuring of Missouri schools to meet new federal "career education" performance standards. The Missouri grant proposal will access federal funds authorized by the School-to-Work Act passed by Congress in 1994 and signed by President Clinton. Parents are shocked by the contents of this massive School-to-Work proposal. Steven Boody, head of the Back to Basics organization in the Parkway School District in suburban St. Louis, spent weeks researching its startling provisions and found that, if it is put into effect, "our children will no longer receive a basic education. They will be trained for one of six career paths in the 21st century workforce." This new program was authorized by an executive order of Governor Carnahan and reflects the thinking of Marc Tucker, education consultant to Carnahan. In a letter to Hillary Clinton in November 1992, Tucker expressed his vision that it is "essential that we create a seamless web of opportunities to develop one's skills that literally extends from cradle to grave and is the same system for everyone."

For years the Police Department has kept such proceeds, despite a 1990 ruling by the Missouri Supreme Court requiring the proceeds to be distributed to local school districts. The funds generally must be distributed to the county treasurer, the state treasurer or the schools, depending on the source of the funds. In 1997 police filed a lawsuit asking the Jackson County Circuit Court to determine how the proceeds should be divided. The lawsuit claimed that different and often contradictory laws applied.
