Rushed Attempt to Combine Education Departments Bad for Missouri’s Children
www.benchmarkemail.com
The Missouri House Higher Education Committee heard testimony on SJR 44 and SJR 45. These two measures would place a constitutional amendment on the November ballot to combine the Boards and Departments of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) and the Department of Higher Education (DHE). The proposal, in its current form, is a bad idea for Missouri’s children and should be opposed in the Missouri House of Representatives.
Instead of this “ready, fire, aim” approach, the state should seriously review how combining two large bureaucracies into one mega- bureaucracy would affect education for individual children in our state. These critical questions just scratch the surface of what must be answered before discussion of combining these two departments can move forward.
