So tell us about that

law.

So, you know, by way of history, you know, Missouri's charter school law was designed really to allow for charter schools, which are almost entirely located either within Kansas City.

or St. Louis City School District limits.

But the law was designed to provide charter schools with the same amount of local and state combined funding as schools in the area districts.

And for years, that more or less worked.

But then about 10 years ago, you start to see a gap emerge, a lot like what you see in other states where we're surrounding traditional public schools, we're working with more per pupil.

And lo and behold, what happens in the district sector?
