Don't forget to vote TOMORROW, Tuesday August 4th!
📌AMENDMENT 5 Information📌
As the August 4 election approaches, one of the measures appearing on the ballot is Amendment 5. Because this proposal could have implications for public education funding, we encourage community members to become informed about the measure and review information from a variety of reliable sources before casting their ballots.
The Meadville R-IV School District does not endorse or oppose ballot measures. Our role is to provide factual information and continue serving our students and community to the best of our ability, regardless of the election outcome.
To help community members better understand the potential impact of Amendment 5 on our district, we are sharing information provided by Parents for Missouri Public Schools. According to the information available, significant reductions in funding could have a substantial effect on our district, students, and staff. You can learn more by visiting the following link:

We encourage all eligible voters to:
• Review the official ballot language.
• Seek information from multiple credible sources.
• Participate in the election if they are registered to vote.
Thank you for your continued support of the Meadville R-IV School District and our students.
What this means:
Per the Missouri Budget Project's analysis, MEADVILLE R-IV could lose about $298,715 in funding (8% of its budget — roughly $1,394 per student) if Amendment 5 passes. State revenue funds 34% of this district's budget, and the income tax that backs it is what Amendment 5 would repeal.
