FUTUREBUILDERS FOUNDATION
As the non-profit education foundation of the Missouri School Boards’ Association, it is our goal to celebrate the successes of our public schools and to recognize the achievements of both students and school leaders.
We believe that public education is the foundation of our democracy and that it is imperative that we counter the negative stereotyping of public schools.
MSBA FutureBuilders’ mission is to spread the news about the good things going on day in and day out in Missouri’s public schools. Our unofficial motto is “Research, not rhetoric” and we use that as our model as we help tell the true story of the successes of our public schools.
