Provides matching grant moneys to assist school districts with school renovation projects
HB 391 creates a state-funded matching grant program to help Missouri public school districts renovate aging facilities. The bill provides state funds covering 60% of eligible renovation costs (like roof repairs, HVAC, or health improvements), requiring school districts to cover the remaining 40% using their existing funds. Eligible projects must occur at schools requiring daily student attendance and meet cost standards set by the state education department. Priority for funding goes to districts affected by disasters, experiencing enrollment growth, or with lower property tax revenue per student. The program is funded through a dedicated state grant fund, with applications reviewed annually by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.
