Paperwork on accused teacher found

Although Christopher Knehans still is listed as an active teacher on the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education website, that should change later this summer.

Knehans resigned as a Jefferson City Public Schools band teacher on March 28, and district officials delivered paperwork to DESE that same day asking the state to revoke Knehans’ teaching certificate.

But, DESE officials said this week, that paperwork apparently was misfiled, so the State Board of Education has not been asked yet to act on the request.

Considering our state pays it's employees less than Arkansas, I can understand how this could happen. I can't wait for this kind of thing to happen once I'm forced to use a health exchange. "You misfiled my results and now my cancer is terminal? No problem, I'm proud that I could die under Obama's unread policy. Long live the king!!!"

The Health Insurance Exchanges only allow people seeking health insurance to compare private companies. They have nothing to do with health care and certainly will not ration health care. The amount of misinformation floating around about the Affordable Care Act is incredible.

GeoDan, you can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig.

What do you expect when you cut a bunch of the employees and have the ones remaining doing two or three jobs for the lowest pay? The good employees leave and they can only recruit trash from the bottom of the barrel. Then on top of that they have many many layers of worthleds management. They dont have modern office automation . Wake up people! State government is going down the toilet.

Is this what's also happening with the Missouri Department of Transportation? Each time I got through the Highway 179/Highway 50 exchange I wonder if anyone actually looked at the plans before they were built. Maybe we could get rid of some engineers at MODOT (since we don't have money to repair the roads) and give their salaries to Education or Social Services.

Not just the state, but the country needs to revamp the welfare system bigtime!!! It's broken, just like the healthcare system...
