Summary
Two Missouri school districts are asking voters to approve major financial measures to survive budget shortfalls and upgrade facilities—without raising taxes. Hazelwood seeks to reallocate tax dollars to cover daily operations like staff and transportation, while Wentzville plans to borrow $185 million for safety tech, building renovations, and emergency preparedness. Both face funding gaps from state cuts and property tax freezes, with Wentzville also grappling with rising student numbers. Voters will decide whether to prioritize stability and safety for their children’s schools. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
