Education Policy

MSTA's grassroots advocacy gives educators a voice in Jefferson City to advocate for Missouri public schools.

Make an Impact

Our government relations department delivers testimony on MSTA’s legislative platform; attends and provides input at State Board of Education meetings; represents your interests at Public School Retirement System meetings; serves as your liaisons to governmental agencies and conducts workshops on political issues and involvement.

Policy Priorities

The Education Policy Committee meets immediately after the adjournment of the annual Assembly of Delegates to set the legislative priorities for the upcoming legislative session.

MSTA’s government relations department lobbies for these priorities at the State Capitol. The legislative priorities for 2024 include increasing the statewide minimum teacher salary, continuing funding for Career Ladder, and continuing to fully fund transportation.
