HB 1505 Missouri House · 2024 Regular Session

Establishes the "Missouri Teachers Classroom Supply Assistance Program"

HB 1505 creates the Missouri Teachers Classroom Supply Assistance Program to provide direct funding for classroom materials and school supplies to teachers in public school districts and charter schools. The bill authorizes the state Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to distribute funds based on student attendance, which schools then allocate to individual teachers via debit cards before the start of each school year. Teachers must sign an acknowledgment statement and submit receipts for all purchases made with these cards, while any unused funds remain in the account for future distribution. The program explicitly prohibits using the money to buy equipment and requires the department to establish rules for administering the debit cards and tracking expenses.
