| MO | Signed into law 06/2010 | P-12 | Removes the requirement but allows the General Assembly to make an annual appropriation to the Missouri Career Development and Teacher Excellence Plan, commonly known as the Career Ladder Program. Beginning in Fiscal Year 2012, the state portion of career ladder payments will only be made available to school districts if an appropriation is made. Any state appropriation must be made prospectively in relation to the year in which work under the program is performed. A school district may fund the program for its teachers for work performed in years for which no state appropriation is made available. The variable match formula of the program is removed and the payment must be on a matching basis with 60% local funding and 40% state funding.
