Summary
The measure would add a new Section 26(b) to Article VI of the Missouri Constitution, raising the debt ceiling for school districts from 5% to 20% of the assessed value of taxable tangible property. It sets specific voter‑approval thresholds for any district that wishes to incur such debt. The amendment was placed on the ballot for a vote in 2026 but ultimately failed.
