Next Gen Connection Hour in St. Charles
Missouri’s Future – A Next Gen Policy Deep Dive
We’re bringing Show-Me Institute’s experts to you for an evening built for the next generation of Missouri leaders. Join us as we discuss two timely issues shaping Missouri’s future.
Data Centers – Data center proposals are emerging across Missouri and your local governments are making decisions right now based on potential benefits such as investment, jobs, and tax-base growth against concerns about electricity demand, water usage, noise, and land use. Director of Municipal Policy David Stokes and Senior Policy Analyst Avery Frank will discuss how municipalities can evaluate these projects to benefit taxpayers.
Public School Personnel Boom and the Teacher Pipeline – Since 2000, growth in teaching and administrative staff has greatly outpaced growth in student enrollment. Yet at the same time, teacher salaries have declined in real terms and there is a perceived shortage of teachers across the state. Avery Frank will present research he conducted with Director of Education Cory Koedel and Senior Fellow James Shuls, published in two recent papers, that examines where the money is going and what it means for our educational system.
Come, have a drink, and network with fellow young professionals who believe free markets, local control, and fiscal responsibility are the path forward for Missouri. Please feel free to share this invitation with friends and colleagues.
We hope you will join us!
