Saint Louis Public Schools Get More and More Desperate

By Sarah Brodsky on May 11, 2007

The Saint Louis Board of Education is fighting the state takeover tooth and nail:

The St. Louis Board of Education will consider a resolution today urging surrounding school districts not to accept city students seeking to transfer as a result of the state takeover of the troubled district.
Meanwhile, at a special meeting, the board also may ask every school board in Missouri to adopt resolutions opposing the state takeover scheduled to begin June 15.

SLPS failed the students of Saint Louis, so now it doesn’t want any other district to help them. These resolutions suggest that SLPS doesn’t have the welfare of students at heart.
