Background As part of Senate Bill 380 (Section 160.545), The Outstanding Schools Act of 1993, the Missouri Department of Elementary & Secondary Education instituted the A+ Schools Program. (The Missouri Department of Higher Education began to oversee the funding in the school year 2010-11 and refer to it as the A+ Scholarship Program.) Funding for the Student Financial Incentives portion of the A+ Scholarship Program is the sole responsibility of the State of Missouri.
