Fordland R-III recently hosted its 3rd annual Summit Conference Roundtable, bringing together five Missouri legislators for meaningful conversations about public education. This collaborative event is a powerful example of districts working together to advocate for and celebrate the incredible achievements of our public schools.
A handout was shared summarizing academic, athletic, and community accomplishments—including top graduation rates, science achievements, statewide competition wins, and real-world learning opportunities for these districts: Gainesville, Mansfield, Fordland, Hartville, Seymour, Norwood, LaClede County R-1, and Sparta. Legislators appreciated having the Summit Conference Highlights in hand, noting the value of real stories and district data to inform their work in Jefferson City.
Public schools across our region continue to lead Missouri in excellence, innovation, and opportunity.
