An example of how the 5th day in a @MOEducation school week can be used to provide advantages to kids on a non-traditional school calendar! @MASALeaders @MOASSP

BREAKING: Amendment proposed in Missouri State Senate would greatly impact the ability of larger schools to adopt 4 day school week and odd wording would impact all @MoEducation calendars. See link. @MASALeaders @moasbo @MissouriSBA senate.mo.gov/23info/BTS_web…

Missouri House passes plan to boost teacher pay. If approved by Senate, would raise minimum from $25,000 to $38,000. Raise master's degree +10 years experience teachers to a minimum of $46,000. 70% funding from state. @MASALeaders @MSTA @MissouriSBA missourinet.com/2023/04/09/mis…

By a vote of 113-0, the SC House has passed H 3908, a bill to provide six weeks paid parental leave to educators. This bill would make South Carolina the first state in the southeast to offer this six week benefit. (1/2)

Sen Beck amendment to Senate Bill 4 would stop 4 day school week in @MOEducation. Lots of talk about "school choice"-- "let parents choose" in legislature. Fastest growing rural schools in Arkansas (a school choice state) are those that have adopted the 4-day week. @MASALeaders
