Missouri public school students to get dyslexia screenings | The Charlotte Observer JEFFERSON CITY, MO.  Gov. Jay Nixon has signed a bill that requires every student in Missouri public schools to be screened for dyslexia. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch (http://bit.ly/292f23q ) reports that Nixon signed the bill last week.

Holster your pitchforks, McGehee is gone | Opinion | Lee's Summit Journal It is time that the voters start researching the candidates that run for school board.  I ran twice.  I was bullied by one candidate.  It happened right after a debate and everyone in the audience saw it.  One person even stopped me on the way out and questioned me about why he attacked me.   I was called crazy and was treated as a stupid housewife that did not have the ability to handle the business of a school district.  I was told that I belonged at the podium and not on the board.  I was told this in public.  In front of the few voters that showed up to the debate.  We have finally gotten the voters to see what really goes on in this district.  They have only seen the tip of the iceberg.  Teachers have been fired for trying to help students.  Teachers have bullied students.  Three children with autism had to be removed from PE in one middle...

Former St. Joseph School Superintendent To Spend A Year In Federal Prison | KCUR This is part of the article. How much different is this than what is happening in Lee's Summit. Colgan will also have to repay $660,000 in a lump sum to the Missouri Public School Retirement System (PSRS). Colgan improperly padded the last three years of his salary using stipends, car allowances and other means. The school board knew about some of the payments but often they did not.
