Amendment 5 and the School Funding Crisis | Wichita News

Published 1 week, 5 days ago
Description

Missouri voters are poised to decide on Amendment 5, which would gradually phase out the state’s income tax — a move school districts fear could slash education funding by billions. Supporters argue it’s a flexible, revenue-tied transition with room to adjust sales taxes, while critics warn the lack of clear details leaves school budgets vulnerable to unpredictable cuts. The debate hinges on whether the state can trust future lawmakers to protect education — or if this gamble risks leaving our kids’s future in the hands of chance.
