McCaskill Meets with President-elect of Missouri PTA

Press Release

U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill today met with Dorothy Gardner, the President-elect of the Missouri Parent Teacher Association (PTA) to discuss opportunities to improve the public education system in Missouri.

"Getting parents, teachers, and local communities invested in public education is crucially important to strengthening Missouri's education system--and the Missouri PTA is doing just that," said McCaskill, a graduate of Missouri's public school system. "Dorothy brings some great experience and ideas to her role, and I look forward to working with her to improve how we educate our kids."

The Missouri PTA works to develop a strong relationship between students, educators and families to provide Missouri children with the highest quality education.

McCaskill, who recently met with members of the Missouri School Boards' Association, is a University of Missouri alum and Missouri's senior Senator.
