Advocate for a teacher on the State Board of Education

MSTA's AI-powered tool, Tillie, can help you draft an email to share with Gov. Mike Kehoe.

Thanks for advocating for public schools.

Missouri law requires an active classroom teacher to serve as a non-voting member of the State Board of Education, but that seat has remained empty since the law was passed more than seven years ago. The retirement of Commissioner Karla Eslinger makes it imperative that a teacher be appointed to that role so current educators have a seat at the table as her replacement is considered. 

Use Tillie to help you draft an email to make this ask of Gov. Mike Kehoe. Once you have an email you like, use the copy button (shown below) to copy the text. Then, paste it in the governor's contact form.
