Missouri’s governor, Jay Nixon, signed Senate Bill 54 that will go into effect on August 28, 2011. It is part of an initiative “to more clearly define teacher-student boundaries.”
This bill, sponsored by Senator Jane Cunningham, creates the “Amy Hestir Student Protection Act.”
Its goal is to eliminate unreported sexual misconduct and improve background information for hiring schools.
Amy Hestir, the then 13-year-old who was sexually assaulted by her teacher, is the inspiration for this new bill.
Hestir testified before the Missouri House Education Committee about her ordeal that happened over two decades ago.

She revealed the troubling details and said, “I support this bill 100% and I am not afraid to tell my story even though it brought so much shame on me for so long.”
“Senate Bill 54 is designed to prevent such sexual misconduct from happening, compelling school districts to adopt written policies between teachers and students on electronic media, social networking and other forms of communication,” wrote tech and social media site Mashable.
According to Nixa School District spokesperson, Zac Rantz, the bill has a few areas of uncertainty. KSPR News reported that not all teacher-student Facebook contact is forbidden, just direct contact.
Teachers can have a public fan page. They just are not able to “friend” a student using their own personal private profile.
Those opposing the law believe it would infringe upon teachers’ rights and make them “guilty until proven innocent.”

Marketing Expert Reveals a Customer Secret for Competing in a Tough Economy

Marketing Expert, Charles Gaudet, Says Building Your Relationship with Your Customer Can Make Doing Business in a Tough Economy A Lot Easier.
Portsmouth, NH (PRWEB) July 31, 2011
Millions of small-business owners believe that having the best product at the best price is the key to generating more sales, but Managed Marketing’s founder and marketing expert, Charles Gaudet, thinks the key is in the customer relationship.
“All over the world, you see businesses slashing prices in an effort to compete. This is the tough reality for commodity-based businesses, but the real money is made when businesses break from the commodity mindset and deliver real value,” says Charles Gaudet.
“People buy those products and services that they believe are the most likely to solve their problems,” says Charles Gaudet, “but, the majority of small businesses don’t know why their customers do business with them in the first place.”
Gaudet suggests that you contact your best clients and ask them why they chose to do business with you over your competitors. Tell them that you value their opinion and that the reason why you’re asking is to further your commitment to their customer experience.
“You’d be surprised what you find out. In our case, we were fascinated to learn that our clients chose to do business with us because we inspired them to become better versions of themselves and it had less to do with our successes or our marketing experience,” says Gaudet.
The next step would be to understand the conversation that your current market is already having with others by visiting forums, related websites and searching for terms to understand what problems and challenges your prospect is having. Then commit to focusing on how you can give your prospect and customer the biggest advantage, largest benefit and most enriching experience for doing business with you.
When your clients see you as the most likely to operate in their best interests, your sales will increase and your business will become a dominant player in your marketplace.
