Huff: Joplin School District not pressuring employees to skip Common Core meeting

Joplin R-8 Superintendent C. J. Huff, responding to allegations I made in an interview with KZRG, says the district is not telling teachers to stay away from the Oct. 19 informational meeting about Common Core Standards at Missouri Southern State University:

As far as I know, that's not true.  That's certainly not the position of the school district."So teachers will be allowed to attend meetings about Common Core?  "Absolutely.  They need to know what's going on."
