Missouri

DFER’s Missouri branch, DFERMO, is headed by Rodney Hubbard, a MO state Senator.

According to Gotham Schools, DFERMO supported St. Louis Mayor Francis G. Slay’s recent re-election campaign:

In Missouri, the goal is to support a new mayor of St. Louis who has welcomed charter school operators to the city, with support from the Walton Foundation.

The National Association of Public Charter Schools (NAPCS) honored Slay for his support of charter schools earlier this year.
