The Four Elements of Public Education

MRTA’s advocacy and mission are built around the four pillars that make public education work for every Missouri community:

  • Students – The heart of public education and the reason educators serve.
  • Public School Personnel – The dedicated professionals who educate and support students every day.
  • Public Schools – The institutions that provide opportunity and access for all.
  • Communities – The backbone that supports schools and benefits from a well-educated population.
