VANDEVEN EARNED AN F AS COMMISIONER.
MISSOURI STUDENTS DESERVE BETTER!
Just hold on here a minute! I felt like screaming when I first heard Dr. Margie Vandeven was reinstated as Commissioner of Missouri Education. Ann Gassel believes firing her was good for Missouri and here are points of why she feels that way about the appointment.
- Vandeven failed to submit reports of any new tests’ validity or reliability to the Speaker of the House or the Senate as required by law.
- The Missouri State Board of Education requested a list of issues the education department would need to discuss with legislators- nothing was submitted.
- Rigging a state contract to give a private company, $385,000 for education reform in K.C.
- Failed to submit a consolidated Education plan for review
- Vandeven has hidden test score results from the public
