Missouri schools join forces to help military children
Lengthy separations from a parent serving in the military. Heightened anxiety about the safety of their mom or dad in uniform. Frequent moves from one town to the next and leaving familiar things behind. Overlaps in school curriculum and graduation requirement differences. Watching a military parent return home with an injury, or an invisible one like depression or post-traumatic stress. The grief of losing loved ones in combat. These are some of the realities that take a toll on young military hearts every day.
Navigating these challenges takes a village. Some Missouri schools have joined forces with families in the Armed Services to help provide military students with a softer academic landing.

Missouri reviews whether it can give teachers a bonus. There’s good news and bad news
The Missouri K-12 Education Department has been reviewing whether the state can use federal coronavirus aid to give teachers a bonus next school year if they stay on the job. The idea was first brought up last October by state Board of Education President Charlie Shields as a way to keep teachers around.
The state already has a persistent shortage of teachers and COVID-19 has made the problem even worse. The pandemic has added a great deal of stress to the workload of Missouri’s roughly 70,000 pre-K-12 public school teachers.
