Missouri is representing in Washington, D.C.!
A strong Missouri delegation of 17 school leaders is participating in the 2026 AASA Legislative Advocacy Conference this week, and MASA and MoASBO are proud to be there alongside them.
During Capitol Hill visits, Missouri leaders met with legislative liaisons and congressional staff from the offices of Senators Eric Schmitt and Josh Hawley and Representatives Jason Smith, Ann Wagner, Wesley Bell, Mark Alford, Emanuel Cleaver II, and Eric Burlison to advocate for key public education priorities, including arbitrage, Title funding, and E-Rate.
We’re grateful for the opportunity to share Missouri perspectives, advocate for our districts and students, and ensure the needs of public education remain part of the national conversation.
Missouri showed up and MASA is proud to help carry that voice forward!
#WeAreMASA #MissouriSchools #PublicEducation #AdvocacyMatters
Please note that our office will be closed Friday, July 3, and Monday, July 6, in observance of the Independence Day holiday. We will resume normal business hours on Tuesday.
We wish you a happy, safe, and memorable Fourth of July! 🎆
