MSBA Executive Director Melissa Randol: “We are very disappointed with the decision by Gov. Parson to sign HB 349, the voucher bill that provides taxpayer dollars to private institutions that have no accountability to the public for how children are educated or kept safe."

Public Educators: regardless of role thank you for all that you will do this year to serve our students and show them how to succeed. Please know that for every critic there are 10 admirers saying “thank you!” God Speed on 2021!

The first and most important day is in the books for 1000’s of future leaders going to public schools! Thanks all, regardless of your role, for investing in moments that got our future off to a great start! As you unwind, reflect on the moments that may have changed a world!

Leadership is about choice not position. Thank you to everyone that has chosen the difficult path of leadership. Lead well today!

Public Educators regardless of role, don’t let the noise side track you. Keep improving those young lives one moment at a time in your own way. You ARE making a difference. Thank you!!

Thank you to all district leaders who are working daily to provide a consistent, drama free, and professional learning environment amidst the chaos of today’s world. Never doubt the impact you have on so many as they watch your steadfast leadership. MASA Leaders

Today we remember. Today we reflect. We share this post in honor of those who served and in memory of those who perished in the tragic events of 9/11. #neverforgotten

#teacherproud. Thank you and all who serve for all that you have done to teach my girls and all children to lead and learn!!! You are making such difference. Don’t listen to the noise you are making the difference!!!

To everyone going to work in a public school today, thank you! Thank you for addressing yet another challenge today. Thank you for making my children feel welcome and safe today as we partner to equip them for their future. You MAKE A DIFFERENCE! Republic Schools Missouri DESE

Treat people right. Appreciate them, encourage them, support them and make them feel like they matter (because they do). Do this at home, at work, at school, at the store, etc. Do this with people you know and people you don't. Try your best every day to make someone else's day.

Don’t let praise go to your head and don’t let critics in your head. Just keep doing the work.

Look for the good today. When you look for the GOOD, expect the GOOD, you find the GOOD and... the GOOD finds you. Remember, how you choose to see the world determines the world you see.

Fitting tune for the first day of school. As long as we have public educators determined to make young futures a reality- I won’t stop believing! Thank you for the sacrifices you will make this year for so many! Republic Schools

Another great tune and likely thought going through the heads of many who are returning to school to serve students😃… It will be…and thanks for all that you will do for so many!!

To all serving in a public school: thank you for providing the love and clothing to all the kiddos in a “coat of many colors.” You Are a difference maker!!

Thankful for our public schools in SWMO honoring veterans today and teaching our next generation about the sacrifices they have made. Made our veteran feel very special!
