TREASURER DISTRIBUTES MONEY TO SCHOOLS
The Platte County Treasurer’s Office
distributed $354,682.17 to Platte County schools this week. Under Missouri law, money collected by the
county from proceeds of criminal fines and asset forfeitures are distributed to
schools within the county. Allocation of
the money is based on enrollment and is transferred to the district’s school
building revolving fund.
“I don’t usually say ‘I’m happy’
when I’m distributing funds, but this is the exception,” Platte County
Treasurer Rob Willard said. “Anything
our office can do to help kids makes it all worth it.”
Park Hill, which has the largest
enrollment of any school district in Platte County, received $246,864.65;
Platte R-III received $76,563.86; West Platte $13,831.81; North Platte
$12,814.69; and East Buchanan, which has a small portion of its boundary within
Platte County, received $71.09.
The Treasurer’s Office distributes
proceeds from the school fund twice a year.
