SUMMARY:Can Missouri Experience A Mississippi Miracle?
DESCRIPTION:A Panel on Improving Missouri’s Schools\n  \nIn 2013\, Mississippi was ranked 49th in the country in fourth grade reading performance\, according to the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). By 2024\, it ranked 9th in the country. During the same period\, Missouri ranked 27th in 2013 and fell to 38th. \nThese contrasting trends raise important questions for Missouri. What education policy changes drove Mississippi’s gains in fourth grade reading performance\, and what lessons can Missouri draw from Mississippi’s success and Florida’s approach to educational freedom? \nJoin us for a panel discussion featuring Douglas Carswell\, president and CEO of the Mississippi Center for Public Policy\, James V. Shuls\, director of civics and liberty studies and head of education liberty branch at Florida State University\, and Cory Koedel\, director of education policy at the Show-Me Institute. \nRSVP by emailing events@showmeopportunity.org\nThursday\, October 1\, 2026\nMAC West\n1777 Des Peres Road\nSt. Louis\, MO 63141\nReception: 4:30 – 5:00 p.m.\nProgram: 5:00-6:00 p.m.\nComplimentary Beverages and Appetizers\nREGISTER HERE\nAdvance RSVP is required.
