Issue Position: Standing Up for Local Schools

Issue Position

Senator Schmitt comes from a family of educators and his wife, Jaime, taught in a local school district. Making sure students get a world-class education is one of his top priorities.

In 2010, there was an effort to balance our budget on the backs of "hold harmless" school districts, several of which are located in the 15th District, such as Kirkwood, Parkway, and Lindbergh. Sen. Schmitt led the fight to remove a harmful provision to make sure our local school districts get their fair share of funding and are not treated inequitably.
