The Micromanager vs. The Leader

Illinois allocates $6,781 more per student than Missouri. Bordering districts along the Mississippi, like Cape Girardeau, could see significant benefits if they received the same kind of support as Illinois. What could Cape do with an additional $27 million for students and teachers?

We are thrilled to announce the launch of “Leading with Students”, a new component of #LeadingWithParents! Let’s engage all student stakeholder groups in school voice, choice, and authentic leadership engagement! Watch for more exciting information!

Each day!!

Sometimes we just need to move on from yesterday!

What we accept…

Let’s lead!

Don’t become complacent!

Are you singing in the rain?

We’re presenting at the #MAESP Spring Leadership Conference! We hope to see you there! @tonidbass.bsky.social
