ABOUT THE WATCH

"The St. Louis Schools Watch was founded on the premises that parental and community involvement are needed for good schools to flourish, and that public participation is a cornerstone of democracy. The Watch offers information and analysis that we hope contributes to a public debate over what changes are necessary to improve St. Louis public schools, and what works."

-- Peter Downs, Founder

Community Meeting at Vashon High tonight

By Antonio D. French

Filed Thursday, November 3 at 1:45 PM

November 3, 2005 -- Superintendent Creg E. Williams has called a meeting at Vashon High School TONIGHT at 6:30 p.m. to discuss recent events within the St. Louis Public Schools.

"There have been a number of events that I am displeased with recently in our district concerning student behavior," said Williams. "I need to address these events before they get out of control. I am inviting community leaders, politicians, parents, teachers, and, most importantly, students to attend this meeting; it is time for the community to help restore pride and dignity back into our schools."

SLPS has also come up with an "education covenant" for parents and other members of the community to pledge to help turn around the city schools. View it here.
