PRESS RELEASE

For Immediate Release

Aug. 5, 2014

“As anticipated, the Teach Great ballot measure received official ballot certification today. We are delighted by the news and are excited to begin initiating an inclusive discussion with Missourians about the importance of rewarding and protecting good teachers, supporting struggling teachers, and making it easier for schools to hire more great teachers.

Missouri voters demonstrated overwhelming support when signing our initiative petition to ensure this measure will appear on the Nov. 4, 2014 statewide ballot. We are confident that Missourians are ready to return local control of hiring elected school boards and that they are ready to find solutions for improving education in Missouri’s struggling school districts.

The Teach Great campaign would also like to thank Secretary of State Jason Kander, his staff, and the local election authorities for their hard work counting and verifying signatures throughout the past several weeks. It is a pleasure to work with such a professional and skilled team.”  — Kate Casas, spokesperson, Teach Great
