Statement from the Protect Our Local Schools Campaign  

Jefferson City, Mo. – Earlier today, the Protect Our Local Schools campaign issued the following statement:

“Amendment 3 remains on the ballot, and if passed, will implement a one-size-fits-all approach to education in Missouri,” said Mike Sherman, spokesman for the Protect Our Local Schools campaign. “Our coalition of teachers, parents, school boards, principals and superintendents are happy to see that proponents of this amendment now agree that this is the wrong approach to education, and there is no denying that this will take local control away from every school district in the state. However, none of this changes the fact that this amendment is still on the ballot and will implement more costly, state-mandated standardized tests if passed. We urge all Missourians to vote NO on Amendment 3.”
