St. Louis and Kansas City Schools get less money in senate bill

Renee Basick has the story from Jefferson City.

Money that once went to blur racial boundaries in Missouri schools would become more evenly distributed across the state as a part of Senator Ted House's bill.

House's legislation is a reaction agaisnt another bill designed to pour most of the funds into schools where poverty is prevalent.

He says this is a waste of money because internal structure must change first.

House says under his bill, money would be taken out of inefficient administration and put into classrooms, where it belongs.
