When public school parents across Missouri come together, we can ensure strong public schools for our kids.
Right now, our schools are underfunded, and there's potential for it to get much worse as Amendment 5 heads to the ballot in 2026 to decide if Missouri should repeal the income tax. If Amendment 5 passes, our schools will see significant cuts to their budgets. The worst hitting rural and small-town schools.
Join with us to fight back and make it clear that our kids are worth investing in.
