Why I Post Things On Here


I'm sure that you must wonder why I post some of the things that I post.  It is simple.  The things that I post about education are happening in Missouri and in Lee's Summit.  Representative Grisamore is aware of these things.  His constituents have brought them to his attention.  He took that information to the school district in order to gain favor with them.  He traded information to help his political career at the expense of disabled children.

I want the public to know what is happening in their school district and how their legislator is handling it.  While he claims to the be champion for the disabled his record does not reflect it.  There are legislators that are helping.

Senator Kraus filed a bill to change the due process system.  It passed and now parents might finally have a chance of winning in due process.  Senator Rupp filed the restraint and seclusion bill.  He has done a lot for autism.  He actually does what he promises to do.

Representative Grisamore will say that I don't like Republicans.  That is not true.  I don't like politicians that don't do what they say they are going to do.  I don't like politicians that use my disabled child as a political stepping stone.

I ask that you do your research.  Read some of my past posts about Representative Grisamore and see for yourself how he will say one thing and then another.  He will email something and then deny that he ever said it.  Even when you are looking at it in black and white he is trying to convince that it didn't happen.

Missouri Schools - The Washington Post

Missouri Schools - The Washington Post Some schools brag about their high passing rates on AP or IB, meaning the percentage of test-takers who scored 3, 4 or 5 on the 5-point AP exam or 4, 5, 6 or 7 on the 7-point IB exam. Passing scores make students eligible for credit at many colleges and universities. I decided not to count passing rates in this way because I found that many high schools kept those rates artificially high by allowing only top students to take the courses. AP, IB and AICE are important because they give average students a chance to experience the trauma of heavy college reading lists and long, analytical college examinations. Research has found that even low-performing students who got a 2 on an AP test did significantly better in college than similar students who did not take AP. On the list, we also give readers a sense of how well each school’s students are doing on the tests by posting the Equity and Excellence rate, which is the percentage of all graduating s...

My Letter Requesting To Become A Board Member

Sherri R. Tucker 1200 SE London Way Lee’s Summit, MO   64081 816-554-3017 autism@kc.rr.com Lee’s Summit R-7 School District C/o Linda Ismert, Board Secretary Stansberry Leadership Center 301 NE Tudor Road Lee’s Summit, MO   64086 Ms Ismert I would like to submit my name for the position on the Lee’s Summit R-7 School Board.   As you know, I have expressed an interest in being on the school board in the past.   On my first attempt I only lost by 2% which would indicate that the voters have an interest in me being on the board as well.   I would think that the voters’ wishes would be taken into consideration. I have a strong relationship with many of the districts’ families and I can help to bridge the gap between them and the district.   I understand the commitment to the time and energy required each week for meetings, phone calls, conversations, visits to schools, and professional development seminars and workshops.   I already do that with the f...
