Connections

 

 

From: MSBA

 David Rice writes about Ozark School Board Member Patty Quessenberry, who has served on the board for 27 years--and she's running again. Quessenberry is also the president-elect of the Missouri School Boards Association (MSBA) about which you can read here, and watch below:

 

Rice writes: "Mrs. Quessenberry’s loyalties are not to you. At the very least, she is loyal to the MSBA which is buried in DEI and wants to increase school debt so they can make their Bank overlords happy. Is it possible her loyalties are to the businesses and organizations that stand to make the most money off the district? Even if all she gets out of being a board member is a massage to her ego, is it worth so many students failing?"

Rice shares the crux of the matter--that low academic scores are the elephant in the room that school boards avoid talking about at all costs.

Because of professional relationships, as well as the policies and guidelines pushed by groups like the MSBA and the Missouri Association of School Administrators (in connection with DESE), academic scores have taken a nosedive, as well as the mental and emotional health of students and staff. Also, these organizations are associated with lending organizations (like Raymond James and Stifel) that stand by to help school districts (taxpayers) get into debt through never-ending bonds for school construction projects, renovations, etc. Both Raymond James and Stifel are associate/business members with both the MSBA and MASA.

Citizens should check into the relationships with these professional organizations and how they work with local school districts to pass bonds and keep the taxpayers in perpetual debt above and beyond the tax levies. Follow the money.

Citizens must not lose sight of the abysmal academic scores. For parents and taxpayers the Return on Investment (ROI) is not there, but for financial organizations it's a never-ending windfall of taxpayer dollars.

The organizational relationships that school board members and candidates have has a lot to do with the decisions they make on the local level. Vote accordingly on April 2.

A Matter of Misplaced Trust

 By Retha Holland

I keep hearing from those that are in favor of these school bond proposals, “I trust our board members” or “I trust our administration to know what’s best.” This trust is based on the emotional connection with the school, meaning the teachers mostly.

These people are a part of the community that we put our faith and trust in to educate and keep the community’s children safe for the hours they have them.

While the community trusts these people, the community is asleep in the passenger seat. Parents manage to make it to the games and performances of their children but so many do not take an interest in the education, indoctrination or even grooming of social beliefs of their child, let alone pay attention to increasing funds paid by the community to the school.

Just as the people “trust” their board members and administration, they are being led by the ear of organizations they are a part of such as MASA (Missouri Association of School Administrators), and MSBA (Missouri School Boards Association). Your board members and superintendents trust these organizations to know best, along with the unions and bank representatives that are associated with them.

With that being said, if you look at the organizations' missions and legislative priorities and statements you will find little on education; it’s about body count, it’s about getting legislation to get more money from the community and state. It’s about legislation to make it easier to fleece the community for more funds through taxes, and oppose any reductions or relief on bills presented in the Capitol. These organizations lobby our representatives at our state capitol, all on your dime with the funds you pay to the school with the member fees associated with the MSBA and MASA

From: Raymond James

These organizations have partnerships with the lending banks, like Stifel and Raymond James that finance these school bonds. MASA does “free” seminars to help superintendents get more success in getting bonds approved from the community.

 MSBA and MASA are NOT state government organizations, they are private. They too have an agenda and interest for ever-increasing revenue along with reducing the ability of the community’s influence or voice. It’s about the money, it’s about control, it’s not about education. These are organizations your board and administration trust to know best! This is who is leading them! These organizations don’t care about the community, they don’t care about the education of the students or the school as a whole. For them the bigger the dumpster fire the better for implementing more control and garnering more funds with ever-increasing services.

Your board, administration and teachers are being misled, with the “trust” and partnership they have with these organizations and unions all working in lockstep. These organizations and affiliations have connections with federal and WEF agendas, all while the community is trusting their administration and board members

See a pattern? Good people can be misled, many good people will toe the line without question, and good people don’t know the monsters with motives behind the curtain. 

 Did we learn nothing from the shut down? “Two weeks to flatten the curve.” 

At the end of the day public schools are GOVERNMENT schools, they want to feed and grow like all government does, so they should always be met with scrutiny, along with their associations with outside influences.

It’s time to email your ELECTED board members with the expectations from the community, otherwise these organizations will take up the slack to continue to influence our schools.

This is up to the community to do so, otherwise the people they trust with the education of our community’s children will continue to be lead by bad influencers.
