As a former Navy SEAL and self-proclaimed political outsider, Gov. Eric Greitens has voiced his support for school choice, which includes the option for students and parents to choose charter schools.
In his announcement for candidacy on Sept. 27, 2015, Greitens said he aimed to provide school choice for “our poorest, most disadvantaged, those in failing schools and those with special needs.”

Every promise begins at this level and retains this rating until we see evidence of progress — or evidence that the promise has stalled.
In the works
This indicates the promise has been proposed or is being considered.
Stalled
There is no movement on the promise, perhaps because of limitations on money, opposition from lawmakers or a shift in priorities.
Compromise
Promises earn this rating when they accomplish substantially less than the official’s original statement but when there is still a significant accomplishment that is consistent with the goal of his original promise.
Promise Kept
Promises earn this rating when the original promise is mostly or completely fulfilled.
Promise Broken
The promise has not been fulfilled. This could occur because of inaction by the executive or lack of support from the legislative branch or other group that was critical for the promise to be fulfilled. A Promise Broken rating does not necessarily mean that the executive failed to advocate for the policy.
Promise ratings change whenever the circumstances change. For some promises, it's possible that the status could initially go to In the works, but then move back to Stalled if we decide the proposal has hit a lull and then go back to In the works.
