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

More Video from the Last Board Meeting

By Antonio D. French

Filed Sunday, September 24 at 2:49 PM

One SLPS employee at the last meeting of the St. Louis School Board suggested the often bickering board members sit in assigned seats. "Sometimes it doesn't look like the people on the board are really working for the children," said the woman. "Special seating works in the classroom to building cooperative learning groups and maybe it would help here too."



Teachers' Union President Mary Armstrong expressed Local 420's frustration with its recent negotiations with SLPS. And teacher Beth Faust asked the board to do something about overcrowding in so-called "split" elementary classrooms, in which more than one grade occupy the same room.
