Sunday Poll: Would You Send Your Child To The Fully Accredited St. Louis Public Schools?
Earlier this month the St. Louis Public Schools became fully accredited:
The state board gave unanimous approval to upgrade St. Louis Public Schools’ status from provisionally accredited to fully accredited. Officials with the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education cited the district’s rising test scores, improved attendance rates and fiscal stability as the reasons for recommending the change.
The decision comes nearly a decade after the state took over the St. Louis Public Schools system and replaced its elected board with a special administrative board. Most members of the state board credited Superintendent Kelvin Adams with helping facilitate the district’s turnaround. (St. Louis Public Radio)
Now, many are wondering if more parents will choose the district over other options. Good question so I’ve made it the subject of today’s poll.
The poll will close at 8pm.
