Missouri has a an average starting teachers salary of $31,842, according to the Kansas City Star, coming in 49 out of 50 and only outranking Montana.

The SoBoCo proposed school budget has lowered its reserve fund to 12.5% to accommodate for the seven hired new teaching positions, with two still open for the 2019-2020 school year.
