Andrew, you want to explain? Yeah.

First off, Missouri's funding law is like one of the weirdest I've seen.
13:30
The local effort calculation uses assessed values from 2005 instead of just updating every year.
13:36
So the state is sort of blind to how much property tax revenue, at least in their funding calculations, districts are bringing in.
13:44
But the twist that you're referencing is this continued increase in revenue for Kansas City public schools and St. Louis public schools.
13:52
And a lot of that is driven by the reality that those districts keep the property tax revenue that they take based off the current year assessments there.
14:00
They're updating every year, just like anywhere else.
16:03
Okay.
