As St. Louis Public Schools continues to develop a plan to consolidate buildings, a student at Washington University has created an exhibit to remember one school that was closed in 2003. St. Louis Public Radio's education reporter Hiba Ahmad takes us to the exhibit in this report.

The EF3 tornado that ravaged parts of St. Louis six months ago devastated thousands of homes and businesses — and a dozen buildings in the St. Louis Public Schools district. Seven schools were so severely damaged that students were displaced. Now, SLPS administrators plan to have the schools either reopened or renovated by December 2026. STLPR's Hiba Ahmed discusses the impact of the school closures, what the plan to reopen looks like and what the community's response has been in the six months since the tornado.

St. Louis Public Schools closed seven of its buildings and relocated nearly two-thousand students six months ago after the deadly May 16 tornado. As weeks turned into months, community members began to wonder whether the schools would ever reopen. St. Louis Public Radio's Hiba Ahmad toured some of the schools and has this report.

In this hour Ryan and Scott talk about bad attendance in St. Louis public schools. Ryan has a friend he wants to brag about because he was named the Chicago Bears fan of the year.

9:05 – 9:22 (15mins) Susan Pendergrass, director of research at the Show-Me Institute,to discuss:1) St. Louis Public Schools turmoil: After firing Superintendent Millicent Borishade, SLPS is once again searching for leadership. The district owes her more than $700,000 and faces possible school closures and questions about state intervention.2) Missouri’s “Unsafe School Choice Option” failure: The Unsafe School Choice Option (USCO) is a federal safeguard created under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), which ensures that students attending persistently dangerous schools can transfer to a safer public school. Despite tens of thousands of violent incidents, Missouri has never identified a single unsafe school under federal law. Susan can explain why the state’s definition is too narrow and what policymakers can do to protect families. 9:25 – 9:37 (12mins) Larry Conners Weekly: "Mr. Conner's Neighborhood @LarryConnersUSASee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Thomasina Clarke has watched school after school close in her once-thriving St. Louis neighborhood, which was hit by a tornado this spring and whose population has plummeted in recent decades. "It's like a hole in the community," Clarke said. St. Louis Public Schools is among the districts nationwide weighing how many urban schools to keep open due to shrinking budgets, the falling birthrate and a growing school choice movement. A district-commissioned report released this year found that the school system has more than twice the schools it needs. Such decisions are gut-wrenching. It's a financial strain to operate half-empty schools, but research shows kids often fare badly after closures. Elsewhere, Philadelphia, Boston, Houston and Norfolk, Virginia, are considering shuttering schools, while a public outcry over potential closures has stopped them—for now—in Seattle and San Francisco. From 2019 to 2023, enrollment declined by 20% or more at nearly one in 12 public schools—roughly 5,100, according to a report published last year by the Thomas B. Fordham Institute, a conservative-leaning education think tank. Many were chronically low-performing schools in high-poverty neighborhoods, the report found. Public school enrollment is projected to tumble 5.5% between 2022 and 2031, largely due to changing demographics, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. Other factors include the shift by some students to private education or homeschooling and some immigrant families' decisions to leave the country. Federal funds allowed many schools to stay open during the COVID-19 pandemic, despite tumbling enrollment numbers. But now the relief money is gone, and those underpopulated schools are a problem, said Aaron Garth Smith, director of education reform at Reason Foundation, a libertarian think tank. "The takeaway is pretty clear," Smith said. Public school enrollment is declining. "It's going to continue to fall for years to come. And so generally, state and local policymakers have to adapt to this new reality." This article was provided by The Associated Press.

Former St. Louis Public Schools superintendent Keisha Scarlett misused district funds and violated hiring protocols according to a new report from the district. Scarlett also racked up nearly $210,000 worth of charges on credit cards assigned to her and the superintendent's office during her 14-month tenure, including expenses at Bath & Body Works and Massage Envy. STLPR education reporter Hiba Ahmad discusses the report and how the school board and district leaders have responded.

St. Louis Public Schools has had a tumultuous year. It struggled to transport students to school, and in October, the SLPS school board voted to fire Superintendent Keisha Scarlett. SLPS Board of Education members speak with STLPR reporters Jason Rosenbaum and Hiba Ahmad about how the district is trying to move on under new leadership, while facing scrutiny over its projected budget deficit of $35 million, and with many community members worried about possible school closures. (You can listen to an extended version of this interview on the Politically Speaking podcast.)

It would be an immense understatement to say that St. Louis Public Schools encountered profound challenges in the past few months. Not only has the district faced struggles providing transportation for students, but the Board of Education recently fired its superintendent. And members of that seven-person board are also eying potential school closures and difficulties recruiting and retaining special education personnel. On the latest episode of Politically Speaking, Board of Education members Toni Cousins and Matt Davis provide an in-depth look at St. Louis Public Schools' challenges — and why political leaders need to be engaged to help mitigate them.

9:05 – 9:22 (15mins) James V. Shuls, Director of Research at the Show-Me Institute, to discuss his recent op-ed in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch about the SLPS mismanagement?Discussed in the piece:   1)  The accountability of charter schools vs. public schools. Shuls points out that when charter schools fail, as seen with the Imagine charter network in 2012, they are held accountable and closed. He contrasts this with the St. Louis Public Schools system, where failures persist at a massive scale. He argues that the fallout from public school mismanagement, impacting thousands of students, is far more damaging because these schools remain open with no real accountability.   2)  The scale of failure in St. Louis Public Schools. James can dive deeper into the troubling statistics around the SLPS crisis showing how less than 70% of students are graduating, and proficiency rates in core subjects are alarmingly low. There's also been financial mismanagement within the district and how centralization in education contributes to these widespread failures that leave thousands of students behind.We also have a free event next Thursday, September 19 where James will be discussing this issue with some other experts.9:25 – 9:37 (12mins) Larry Conners Weekly: "Mr. Conner's Neighborhood  @LarryConnersUSA   9:41 – 9:56 (15mins) Weekly: Jay Ashcroft, Missouri Secretary of State, @MissouriSOSSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
