CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT
NO. 3
Proposed by Initiative Petition
Shall the Missouri Constitution be amended
to:
• require teachers to be evaluated by a
standards based performance evaluation
system for which each local school district
must receive state approval to continue
receiving state and local funding;
• require teachers to be dismissed, retained,
demoted, promoted and paid primarily using
quantifiable student performance data as
part of the evaluation system;
• require teachers to enter into contracts of
three years or fewer with public school
districts; and
• prohibit teachers from organizing or
collectively bargaining regarding the design
and implementation of the teacher
evaluation system?
Decisions by school districts regarding
provisions allowed or required by this
proposal and their implementation will
influence the potential costs or savings
impacting each district. Significant potential
costs may be incurred by the state and/or
the districts if new/additional evaluation
instruments must be developed to satisfy the
proposal's performance evaluation
requirements.
YES
NO
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT

Proposed by the 97th General Assembly
(Second Regular Session)
SS SCS HCS HJR No. 90
Shall the Missouri Constitution be amended
to permit voting in person or by mail for a
period of six business days prior to and
including the Wednesday before the election
day in general elections, but only if the
legislature and the governor appropriate and
disburse funds to pay for the increased costs
of such voting?
State governmental entities estimated
startup costs of about $2 million and costs to
reimburse local election authorities of at
least $100,000 per election. Local election
authorities estimated higher reimbursable
costs per election. Those costs will depend
on the compensation, staffing, and, planning
decisions of election authorities with the total
costs being unknown.

state services?
State governmental entities expect no direct
costs or savings. Local governmental
entities expect an unknown fiscal impact.
