Cradle to Career: P-20 Council is collecting Data on Kids.
“Data gives us the roadmap to reform…Hopefully some day we can track kids from pre-school to high-school and from high school to college and college to career.” -Arnie Duncan, 2009
The 2023 Missouri Legislature passed HB 3 with funding for the P-20 Council in the amount of $2.5 Million.
What is the P-20 Council and where did it come from?
In 2009, Charlie Shields (current State Board of Education President) passed a bill while he was a State Senator in the Missouri Legislature to create the Missouri P-20 Council.
The P-20 Council was created as a “corporation” and given its own authority under a private non-profit status.
Interesting that the State Board of Education sits on this private non-profit board.
Many roads go back to Charlie Shields. Learn more about the former legislator here 👇

P-20 Council collects data on children preschool to 20th year of education.
12th year - 18 years old
16th year - 22 years old
20th year - 26 years old
Cradle to Career data collection.
Obama gutted FERPA allowing for data collection in education to be easy for schools to capture and release to P-20 Councils created in almost all 50 States. The Data Quality Campaign has put out a lot of information on the P-20 Council agenda pushing for state laws to open the door.
The first funding came in the form of a grant from the US Dept of Labor federal workforce in education. $8.9 million. It was the bait.
MOSIS is the ID number given to every child that enters the public school system.
It’s all under the Common Core narrative of:
“College and Career Readiness”
The Data Quality Campaign is the “research” arm of the P-20 Council Obama era agenda.
P-20 Council collects and sends data across all agencies and then to a national collection center.
Ask yourself why they need this much data on your children?

Much if the P-20 Council data collection comes through the Vo-Tech credentialing called CTE (Career & Technical Education) funded through grants from the U.S. Department of Labor.
Note: This author does support Vo-Tech and the trades, just not the predatory data collection schemes on children in the process.
In 2009, Ozark Technical College (OTC) published a lengthy report on P-2O Council and quoted Obama’s Secretary of Education, Arnie Duncan.

Duncan is quoted on the second to last page.
Data Quality Campaign (DQC) has been a tool for “research” to push the P-20 Council in every state.
DQC heavily pushes having “access” to your child’s data.
They want the state to give the P-20 Council, with state given corporate protection, access to all data on your child from preschool to their 20th year of education.
Some States have been more active than others with P-20 Council.
Illinois has been very active.
The group EPIC has been fighting against the violation of student privacy for over a decade.
Unfortunately, State lawmakers have been setting the stage to give more of your child’s data to the P-20 Council through state-funded child care.

Recently (as recent as today), the Missouri Chamber of Commerce, Higher Education, and state lawmakers are holding conferences on what they call a “child care crisis.”
It’s a manufactured crisis for their “Workforce 2030” Agenda. To get more Mothers into the workforce and away from their children.
This author can’t help to think of United Nations SDG 2030 goals. Weird.
This author will expand on the predatory child care “crisis” to put more children into the pipeline earlier in a following substack.
What can you do?
Ask your State Senator and House Representative to repeal P-20 Council, defund it, and protect Missouri children from predatory data collection.
