JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) -- Tight budgets have Missouri lawmakers examining changes to the state school funding formula used to steer basic aid from the state Capitol to classrooms.

There has not been enough money in recent years to fully fund the current education formula, prompting concern from some about money distribution problems that could allow certain districts to benefit at the expense of others.

Part of the issue is that Missouri's formula does not account for state funding falling below what is demanded by the formula. Education officials estimate it would take an additional $178 million to meet the current target. The Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education said that by the 2014 budget and after some recalculations within the formula, Missouri could need to add more than $700 million on top of what currently is spent.

Now Missouri lawmakers are considering changes
