Missouri’s Assistant Commissioner of Teacher Quality, Paul Katnik, recently spoke to PC volunteers about the perilous state of teaching in Missouri. Missouri ranks #49 in the nation in minimum starting pay, approximately 25% less than surrounding states. There’s been a nearly 30% decrease in students enrolling in education college classes and a third of Missouri’s teachers have taught for less than five years. We are developing a targeted plan to help in the Kansas City area. Stay tuned for how you can get involved.
