The Honorable Mike Parson

Governor of Missouri

State Capitol Building, Room 216

Jefferson City, MO 65101

Dear Governor Parson:

The State Board of Education and the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education are pleased to submit the Fiscal Year 2022

budget request¡ªapproved by the State Board of Education¡ªfor your consideration.

Quality public education increases opportunities for success for each of our students and is vital to Missouri¡¯s future. Our budget contains

requests that are critical to the current needs and to future success in our state. In addition to the mandatory items in the budget request,

high priority requests that align with the Department strategic plan are included. These priority requests are designed to¨Camong other

things-improve early learning opportunities for young children and their parents, provide a continuous improvement process for all schools

which will lead to improved student outcomes, and enhance teacher recruitment efforts.

Due to these challenging times surrounding the COVID pandemic, the budget request does not include all of the priority items the

Department would typically include, instead the request was limited to the highest priority items that align with the Department¡¯s

strategic plan. The Department¡¯s commitment to quality schools, effective educators, and high expectations for ALL students has never

been more important. The Department is committed to providing the support necessary for schools and districts in their continuous

improvement efforts to better serve our children.

Investing in education has always been a priority for the state of Missouri. We appreciate your continued support.

Sincerely,

Margie Vandeven

Commissioner of Education
