Missouri State Representative @JoshHurlbert says if we go to school choice he’ll support $50,000 minimum @MOEducation teacher salary. Looking for him to file this clean bill (nothing else attached) with funding next session. We’ll be watching. @MSTA @MissouriNEA @MASALeaders.

Teachers enjoy using AI for teaching, but are not so sure about students using it. Many teachers feel AI use is "cheating." All agree it is "big business" with lots of profit potential. @MoStateCOE @MOEducation @MASALeaders @MOASSP @MoAESP
