Welcome to our new MMEA website! As you can see, the site has a totally new look, and should prove to be much more user friendly.
Planning for this transition began over a year ago. After much discussion, we decided to seek a company to administer our website that could offer more timely information to our members, support online registrations, easily accept changes and updated information, and, above all, be user friendly. That company proved to be Caledon Virtual in Columbia.
Foremost among the desired improvements was the ability to disseminate information to MMEA members quickly. That need was especially evident when questions arose regarding the weather and last year’s conference. This new site will allow us to quickly post information about weather, meetings, issues in state government, DESE updates, and many other important and timely issues.
As I write this article, schools across Missouri are completing activities in celebration and recognition of Music In Our Schools Month. Unfortunately, many schools do not take time to showcase their music programs, underscore the importance of music in students’ lives, and make the general public, administrators, Boards of Education, and parents aware of the benefits of music instruction by qualified music educators.
