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

Ready to Step Up?

By Antonio D. French

Filed Friday, November 17 at 9:21 AM

Here's the upshot: If some of you don't step up, this website will shut down.

Can you help?

CONTRIBUTOR F.A.Q.

How do I become a contributor?
Call Antonio French at (314) 518-2364.

I work for the district. Do I have to use my real name?
No, you can have a pseudonym.

Do I have to write something everyday?
No. Hopefully several people will step up, thereby spreading the workload. Antonio French will still be the editor and will sometimes ask you to cover a particular event.

I'm not the best writer, but I know a lot about what's going on in SLPS. How can I help?
Contact Antonio French (use the number above). You feed him the info, he'll write the stories. He might even give you a cool code name.

I have a video camera but I have no idea how to edit videos or post them to the Internet. How can I contribute videos of school board meetings and school events?
If you're willing and able to record an event all you have to do is get us the DV tape. We'll copy it and return the tape when we're done.

This is interesting, indeed. Now that this new board majority looks like a bunch of imbeciles, Antonio has no time to write? You had plenty of time to bash Slay's slate but not this one that's now showing its pettiness and incompetence?

One subject that might be raised from time to time is principals who mistreat their staff or don't follow board policies and procedures and get away with it and academic officers who don't have a clue, have no history with the district to know the weaknesses of those under them and how they wouldn't succeed anywhere else.
