Understanding Missouri HB 711

Missouri HB 711 represents a continued effort to reshape how education funding is directed across our state—and it is not new.

This proposal has been introduced multiple times by Brad Pollitt, signaling a persistent push to move Missouri in a direction that many communities have already raised concerns about.

Despite ongoing opposition and unanswered questions, the effort has not stopped.

As HB 711 moves forward again—now making its way through the Senate—Missourians deserve to understand what is at stake.

At its core, this issue is about local control.
When funding is redirected away from local schools, communities lose the ability to make decisions for their own students, their own families, and their own future.

This is not a one-time proposal.
It is part of an ongoing effort to fundamentally change how education works in Missouri.

That is why awareness matters—and why action matters.

What’s Coming Next

We are actively working to build a coalition of school leaders, educators, and community voices who share our vision for strong, locally controlled schools.

Soon, this page will feature:

• School leaders who support local control

• Community voices standing with Missouri’s schools

• Ongoing updates and insights

This is just the beginning.

Check back soon to see the leaders standing for Missouri’s schools!
