For those who support @MOEducation public schools, yesterday's election results are encouraging. Not because they're Dems vs Rep wins or losses--but because pro-public school candidates won and many voucher candidates lost. Rural Republicans, who have historically been more likely to support public schools, will now make up a larger share of the remaining Republican caucus. Rural Missouri, make sure you keep on top of things--your rural schools need you, and the Republicans in the legislature can no longer ignore you. @MASALeaders @MSTA @MissouriNEA @nrea1 @MissouriSBA

@CRileyNL @springfieldNL @officialSPS Thank you, Claudette. Please continue to bring awareness that they not only cut library staff, but decimated our entire dept by eliminating our director and one other position for the dept office. One person can’t manage the library dept for the largest district in the state.

[Dana Courter @CourterDana]

@kytv Yet, admin is never on the list of cuts. In 8 years I worked for SPS, they have added top tier admin positions each year. BOE, take a look at highest salaries and how they DIRECTLY affect students. Keep those who support students in the buildings every day.

This guy! 4th grade learned about Playaways last week and since then, he has listened to 4 audio books! He told me his mom has to force him to come eat dinner because all he wants to do is listen to his books. He’s a rockstar in my book!
