STATEMENT

 

RE: Retirement of Dr. Chris Nicastro

 

“The retirement of Dr. Nicastro presents an opportunity to move forward and restore confidence in DESE, not only with the General Assembly, but more importantly with Missouri parents. I’m eager to begin work with a new commissioner to improve the educational outcomes for all Missouri children.  There are several exceptional candidates outside the department who will once again put our children’s education ahead of outside interests and influence.   I have complete faith that the State Board of Education shares my goal.  Though I had concerns with the commissioner’s performance, I want to thank her for her many years of service towards educating the children of Missouri.”
