Establishes the "Missouri Teachers Classroom Supply Assistance Program"

HB 874 creates the "Missouri Teachers Classroom Supply Assistance Program," providing state funds to help public school teachers buy classroom supplies for students. Starting in the 2026-27 school year, the state Department of Elementary and Secondary Education will distribute funds to school districts based on the previous year's average daily attendance. Each teacher in a district or charter school will receive a dedicated debit card (displaying the program name and tax ID) by August 15th each year, with funds limited to classroom materials and supplies - not equipment. Teachers must submit receipts for all purchases to their school district, which must retain them for five years to verify compliance.
