PTA Takes Action! Legislative Alert!
Currently, Missouri incarcerates youth charged as adults with adult prisoners, even before their trial. HB 1641 would fix this by seeing to it that these kids (who are aged 16 and younger) would be housed in facilities that are far more appropriate for them.
Please take action on this issue at this link: Take Action Now!
For other bills of interest to Missouri PTA, please see the Capital Chatter section of our state PTA website.

Congratulations to Hillcrest, Pittman, Boyd, Central, Twain, Cherokee, Pipkin, Delaware, Robberson, Jeffries, Pershing Elem., and Bissett for increasing your memberships this year!
