Petition to save Career Ladder
funding
On Wednesday, Sept. 16, Missouri NEA members,
leaders, staff and concerned citizens will gather at the Capitol
to tutor legislators about the importance of funding the Career
Ladder programs. Providing no state funding for Career Ladder
may affect the take home pay of nearly 18,000 teachers in
342 Missouri school districts.
MNEA has developed two petitions by which people
can show their support for continuing the funding of the career
ladder programs. The state petition provides the following
information to signers.
Career Ladder support provides Missouri students
with:
- Over
455,000 hours of after-school tutoring
-
Over 247,000 hours of direct parent contact
-
Over 24,000 hours of mentoring
-
Over 426,000 hours of teacher professional development
- Over
514,000 hours of curriculum and instructional improvement
The local petition allows for customization. Use Missouri's
Career Ladder Annual Report (.pdf) produced by the Department
of Elementary and Secondary Education to fill in the information
about your school district where the asterisks appear.
Print the petitions, and then collect signatures from supporters.
Petitions should be returned to MNEA, 1810 E Elm Street, Jefferson
City, MO 65101.
