DESE boosts area schools' funding

The Jefferson City and Blair Oaks school districts are among nine Mid-Missouri public school operations getting more state aid in the next school year than they received this year.

"I'm very pleased with this decision," said Jason Hoffman, the Jefferson City district's chief financial and chief operating officer.

However, the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) plan would reduce aid to the Cole County R-5 District in Eugene.
