Missouri families are searching for the best fit for their child, but often don’t know where to start. If your child is homeschooled, you have valuable insight for our community resource guide. Reach out and tell us:

Was it the flexibility, the customized curriculum, or the ability to incorporate your values into education?

Share how taking the leap into homeschooling gave your family a tailored education experience that works.

Your vote is your most powerful tool you have to demand education reform in Missouri.

From the halls of the State Capitol to our local school board rooms, the leaders we choose today will decide the transparency, accountability, and opportunities available to Missouri families. The future of education in Missouri depends on who we elect to lead our state and local communities.

Polls are Open: 6:00 AM – 7:00 PM (If you are in line by 7 PM, you MUST be allowed to vote!)

Where to Vote: Check your local county clerk’s website to find your polling place.

What's at Stake: School board seats, local measures, and state-level leadership that determines the path of education reform.

Missouri families are searching for the best fit for their child, but often don’t know where to start. If your child is in a charter school, you have valuable insight for our community resource guide. Reach out and tell us:

Why did you choose a charter school over your local public school? Was it the specific curriculum, the specialized mission, or the academic focus?

Your choice can help another family understand this unique public school option.

Our questionaire is linked in the comments and takes less than 5 minutes to complete.

Ever wish the folks in Jefferson City actually spoke in a way families can understand? Meet Matthew Griese.

Policy can feel like a maze, and Matthew is here to hand you the map. As a fellow parent, he’s lived the same school struggles we all have—and as a powerhouse in the Capitol, he knows exactly how to lobby for the change our kids deserve.

From breaking down complex data for families to helping move policies forward... talk about a man who can do both!

Help us welcome our new Director of Programs & Policy to the team! Drop a “Welcome” in the comments and don’t be a stranger!

Missouri students shouldn’t be trapped in education systems without transparency about how they are performing.
