Could school district consolidation be headed to rural Missouri? @MOEducation Arkansas research found little or no achievement gains and no clear evidence of cost savings. Before embracing consolidation, Missouri should weigh the evidence—and community impacts. @MASALeaders @MissouriSBA @MSTA @MissouriNEA @moasbo @nrea1

Missouri legislature #moleg is focused on giving tax cuts to the wealthy. 80% of last year’s capital gains cut goes to highest-top 5% income taxpayers. Total revenue loss in one year? $500 million. Now Missouri public school kids will pay for it. @MOEducation @MASALeaders

Very interesting poll of education experts. 30 Ideas for Improving U.S. Schools. Giving schools grade cards is not on the list, but improving curriculum and increasing teacher salaries in high poverty schools are. @MASALeaders @MissouriSBA @MOEducation nytimes.com/2026/09/28/upsho…

About one Missouri child in seven lives below the federal poverty line. Poverty strongly tracks where achievement stands - but only faintly how fast students learn. Level and growth are different stories. MissouriSchools.org/achievem… @MSTA @MissouriNEA

A letter grade cannot tell you whether students are growing, whether a district is recovering from COVID, or how poverty shapes the starting point. Before ranking a Missouri school, ask what the grade leaves out. MissouriSchools.org/achievem… @MASALeaders @MoEducation

More than $190 million short for Missouri's public-school formula. $60 million for private school vouchers through MOScholars. These are policy choices with local consequences. What should Missouri fund first? mosba.org/article/2892697 @MASALeaders @MSTA

Before calling a Missouri school an A, B, C, D or F, look beyond the letter. Poverty, student growth, recovery and local context matter. Good public conversations need more than one grade. MissouriSchools.org/achievem… @MASALeaders @MSTA

Thank you Missouri State Board of Education members Jordan Bradberry, Kerry Casey, Jon Otto and Vincent Schoemehl Jr. @MOEducation for voting to request full funding of Missouri’s school foundation formula. I appreciate your support for asking the legislature to fund the formula established in state law. @MASALeaders @MSTA @MissouriSBA @MissouriNEA @moasbo @WebbCitySchools

Missouri Public School Retirement System (PSRS) members contribute 14.5% of salary; districts match it. The 29% combined rate is unchanged for a 16th year. It is a payroll cost and a major career benefit. Do new teachers understand it? psrs-peers.org/PSRS/Resource… @MSTA @MASALeaders

Really concerned by the amount of AI game day posts from teams across the metro these last couple weeks.
Canva is a great and easy platform to use for templates, and what’s wrong with partnering with the graphic design/media classes?
I get a coach not wanting to, but AI? C’mon
Whoot-Whoot!!! Way to go, Runners! #PatriotProud
