Asking questions is not a sign of weakness. Maybe not asking or being afraid to ask is a sign. ?????

MO House votes to expand school vouchers, which sends money to corporate schools with no voter oversight. It sets minimum teacher salary $10,000 less than Arkansas. All but 3 Dems voted NO. Thanks to 24 Republicans, under tremendous pressure, that also supported public schools. @MASALeaders @MOASSP @MoAESP @moasbo @MSTA @MissouriNEA

THE TIME IS NOW!
Members of the Missouri House are under increasing pressure to pass Senate Bill 727 IMMEDIATELY and without ANY improvement. Contact your legislator and urge them to vote NO! Let your House member know how 727 would impact your district.
