Missouri Education First - Ensuring Full Funding for Missouri Education

Posted Friday, January 28, 2011, at 11:04 AM

Missouri's first priority and greatest investment is in the full funding of all aspects of education. Yet last week, Governor Jay Nixon presented his proposed State Fiscal Year 2012 budget to the General Assembly that failed to put education first.

I am disappointed at the governor's budget that withholds $125 million from our school's transportation funding and eliminates $50 million in Access Missouri Scholarships. In this video, I share with you my concerns with the Governor's spending priorities that prevents our children from access to a world class educational opportunity.

Thank you for watching and let me know what you think.
