Contracting Out

•  Privatization seeks to establish a corporate takeover of our system of public education.

•  Privatization will reduce the quality of education, the accountability of public schools to the communities they serve, and the well-being of children in school.

•  High quality school services are vital to help students achieve at higher levels.

•  Privatization will reduce the local control of school boards and public accountability.

Further Discussion

•  How will we make sure teachers and ESPs have the quality tools and resources they need to help students succeed if school services are privatized?

•  How will privatization affect the local accountability of school boards and respect for teachers and other school staff?

•  How will privatization of school services affect parents and students?

We're fighting for them!

•  Missouri NEA promotes a proactive agenda that strengthens public education and public educators for the benefit of Missouri's children.

•  MNEA also continues to lead the fight to defeat the many harmful proposals pushed by out-of-state extremist groups and other opponents of public education.
