Following the State Board of Education’s September meeting, where members voted not to fully fund the foundation formula, the Farmington School District and public schools across Missouri are facing serious financial challenges.

The Farmington School District is facing an estimated shortfall of $1,622,000. A loss of this magnitude directly impacts our day-to-day operations, program offerings, and long-term planning for our students. Across our entire MAAA Conference, total funding cuts are estimated to reach $7.8 million.

Farmington stands united with our fellow school districts across the MAAA Conference in asking for your help. We need our community to stand up for our students and advocate to our Governor and state legislators to restore this vital funding in the coming months.

Please read the full letter below from district leadership regarding what this means for our schools and how you can contact our state representatives to make your voice heard.
