Should our district really be involved this heavily in politics?  
SPRING 2013 VOTING RECORDS
FOR R-7 AREA STATE LEGISLATORS

       
The Missouri General Assembly session ended May 17 with a variety of bills passed that impact our school community. A chart, available at http://cdn.lsr7.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/GeneralAssemblyVotesSpring20131.pdf, details the votes by our state senators and representatives on bills affecting Lee's Summit R-7 schools.

Each bill's number and a brief description are listed on the left side of the chart with individual votes for each bill included for all elected officials. Green shading on an official's individual vote indicates that he or she supported the R-7 position on this bill. Red shading on the official's vote indicates he or she did not support the R-7 position on the bill. Yellow shading indicates that the official was absent during the vote. The legislators' records are totaled for each bill tracked by the R-7 School District this spring. To learn more about a bill in the Missouri House of Representatives, visit www.house.mo.gov/. To learn more about a Missouri Senate bill, visit www.senate.mo.gov/. Each web site has a bill tracking option.

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
