Missouri Makes Some Steps Forward

Legislative session has ended...and with that comes reflection on the bills that passed and didn't pass. Unfortunately, this year, the special needs scholarship tax credit did not get as far as it did last year. However, I expect in the coming years for it to heat up again as it did last year.
They did, however, pass merit pay options for teachers and pass a bill that allowed the state to study open enrollment. Hopefully, the study they conduct will show how incredibly effective it would be for open enrollment to be allowed. Children in failing schools or even in schools that are not the right fit for them are suffering, and we need to help them.
These are big steps in the right direction for the children of Missouri!
