We were excited to have our SNEA President visit Boyd Elementary during their bargained work day on October 17! It was a great morning filled with conversation, connection, and celebration—plus donuts and coffee to keep everyone going. 🍎

Our president shared plans to visit more buildings during upcoming work days and professional learning days to connect with members, hear their perspectives, and recognize the outstanding work happening across our district. 💪

📣 Stand with Missouri Educators — Sign the Petition Today! 📣

Jeff City Politicians are trying to fund private schools with $51 million in public money, schools that can turn students away if they have special needs or practice the wrong religion. That's fewer teachers and larger classes for the 900,000 kids in our public schools. Missouri NEA is challenging this in court.

✍️ Add your name to the petition and show your support for MNEA’s legal action. Your signature sends a clear message: Educators will not be silenced.
