Missouri schools are facing a difficult reality.

With the state budget falling short of fully funding the Foundation Formula, many districts may find themselves balancing rising costs, aging facilities, and limited resources. Recent budget discussions have highlighted both a $190 million formula funding gap and a proposed $52 million funding shortfall, creating additional uncertainty for school leaders.

When funding is tight, facility needs don't disappear. Roofs still leak. HVAC systems still age. Deferred maintenance continues to grow.

The districts that navigate these challenges most successfully are often the ones that take a strategic approach to facility planning, focusing on projects that reduce operating costs, improve learning environments, and stretch every available dollar further.

In our latest blog, we explore how Missouri school districts can continue investing in their facilities even when traditional funding falls short.

Ryan and Scott joined Jason and Bryan at the MASA 2026 Masters Golf Tournament for a day of golf, conversation, and a little friendly competition. Events like this are a great chance to connect outside of meetings and continue building the relationships that make our work with Missouri schools so rewarding.

Thanks to MASA for putting on another great event.
