Today we had about 70 businesses represented by over 100 people who came to interview students at our 5th Annual Mock Interview event. We appreciate everyone’s support in making this possible and helping to prepare our students for their post-high school careers. #LifeChangers

Over 60 students and organizations participated in our 6th Mock Interviews. I’m looking forward to hearing about the impact on both sides. Grateful for all support and people who helped make this happen. Thanks for another great day. #mjaysunited #highschool #interview

@CRileyNL @officialSPS @SpringfieldNEA @springfieldNL Also, I'd really like some clarification on what "run in the same circles" means.

@CRileyNL @officialSPS @SpringfieldNEA @springfieldNL Very concerning shift (and obvious leadership slant) in the endorsement of MM and LM. I'm sure "not all teachers and staff liked the picks" is an understatement. I wonder how SNEA members would vote if given the chance. Mullins clearly wants MM back in a leadership position.

UPDATED: Includes response from @officialSPS board president Danielle Kincaid on losing @SpringfieldNEA endorsement. Springfield teachers union picks three candidates for SPS board — but only one incumbent news-leader.com/story/news/edu… via @springfieldNL

@CRileyNL @officialSPS @SpringfieldNEA @springfieldNL By the way, the incumbent who "refused to answer" actually didn't refuse to answer. What DK actually said was "All seven of us were elected to the BOE by SPS members. I value each of their opinions, and I am glad they are each serving their community... I am thankful for each

@CRileyNL @officialSPS @SpringfieldNEA @springfieldNL I'd encourage anyone who doesn't get alarmed reading this to go watch the recording of any board meeting.

The Sci-Fi Summer Class is officially complete! Really enjoyed these last few weeks. Proud of what everyone accomplished. Today was mostly paper presentations and popcorn. Looking forward to seeing a lot of these kids in the fall!

Senate Bill 411, now in Mo House General Laws Committee would significantly impact @MoEducation school districts in Missouri's 5 charter counties and cities with a population of 30,000+. Would require BOTH 1044 instructional hours AND 174 days. @MASALeaders @MissouriSBA

Senior Showcase 2023. Thanks @thompnic for making it possible!

Really excited for the opportunity to support a great kid and a great sport.

@JonTurnerEdD @MOEducation @MASALeaders Seems like we need to prevent guns from getting there in the first place. And I’m pretty sure some common sense gun legislation would be cheaper.

Missouri House passes bill to require bullet-resistant doors and windows on @MOEducation schools. @MASALeaders missourinet.com/2023/04/18/mis…

@AngelSSMO I frequently hear students say they work until close, which could be 10, 11, or even later at night.

Good to know!

Be safe. instagram.com/p/CqtfyPAOHQm/…
