What are the MORE Network’s key operational values?
Transparency
Information to all members in a timely fashion
“Do no harm” – if other MORE members support something that a particular organization cannot support, that organization will step out – physically remove themselves so as not to inadvertently send a message with their silent presence
Respect for each individual organization’s ability to take on education policies that are data-driven but may not be a fit for all
How is the MORE Network governed?
The operation of the MORE Network is administered and led by the staff of the Children’s Education Alliance of Missouri (CEAM) with guidance and input from MORE’s steering committee, which is composed of the Network’s founding and most active members.
