The proposal would increase basic aid for public K-12 schools enough to meet
funding goals called for in state law.
But public colleges and universities would see core funding cuts of 6.6
percent. In-home care and nursing services for seniors and people with
disabilities also would be reduced.
Other changes made Wednesday include giving $250,000 to Harris-Stowe State
University for graduate programs.
Lawmakers have until Friday to send a final budget to Republican Gov. Eric
Greitens.
