So proud of these young women! They have been a pleasure to watch and cheer for this season. 😻

Today, members of the Community Task Force on Facilities gathered to hear updates on Progress as Promised. 🚧 30+ construction projects have been completed since they first met in 2018, and three more major school renovation or construction projects are underway. #SPSProgress

Congrats to a wonderful human and amazing advocate for public education!

Heather has been a superstar since high school! Yeah Heather! 😻⭐️🎉

A story I wrote SEVEN years ago about how lack of busing eligibility in Springfield Public Schools impacted attendance popped up in my memories. Earlier this year, the board voted to expand busing eligibility for high school students and ADD busing for magnet schools. Starting this fall.

A ray of 🌞! Yes, I said it and I’m sticking to it! #alwayssmiling 😃

A pleasure to attend the MoASBO awards luncheon and see Carol Embree, SPS Deputy Superintendent of Operations receive the 2021 MoASBO School Business Officer of the Year award. A well deserved recognition for Carol - Congrats!

The demolition of York Elementary is underway, making room for a brand new school to be completed for the 2022-23 school year. This project is made possible by voter approval of Proposition S in April, 2019. sps.org/progress #ProgressAsPromised #SaferStrongerSchools

Incredible progress continues at Hillcrest High School - a dynamic project of renovation and reconstruction! sps.org/progress #ProgressAsPromised #SaferStrongerSchools

Right on point Rich!- Carol was front and center in answering questions and providing critical information every step of the way!

Have been a huge fan of Douglas Reeves for many years. His “Accountability in Action” is an all time great resource for educators and continues to be relevant post NCLB days! 👍🏼

So excited for our high school students! We should always be working to remove barriers for students & the transportation expansion is a great example of Springfield Public Schools' commitment to our kids.

Exciting news about a new partnership--SHINE. Thanks to Ozarks Regional YMCA Boys & Girls Clubs SPARC and Dream Center for collaborating with us. #SHINEatSPS

Students are enrolled, teachers are hired and trained and Monday Launch Virtual Learning will welcome over 30,000 enrollments. We still have seats available and are proud to serve 356 Missouri partners. How can we help? 🚀

A very nice reminder 👍🏼😺
