Can new leadership turn things around for the struggling St. Louis Public Schools district? Following a long decline in student enrollment and a recent scandal involving former Superintendent Keisha Scarlett, the district faces serious challenges including school closures and shaken public trust. While newly elected officials bring hope for reform, they must overcome deep-rooted issues with limited authority and a pressing need for a clear, effective strategy.
Chris Rongey and Amy Marxkors sit down with St. Louis Mayor Tishaura Jones to discuss the ongoing debate over Governor Kehoe's proposal for the state to take control of the St. Louis police. Mayor Jones responds by emphasizing the city's crime reductions and increased investments. The conversation also touches on the Rams settlement proposal, the push for a city manager structure, and ongoing struggles with St. Louis Public Schools transportation.

Jones, to recognize the importance of being involved with the St. Louis Public Schools. All of which contributes to a declining population,of both students of the city's public schools and city residents, who continue to vote with their feet! -----
In the first hour, Chris Rongey and Amy Marxkors discuss key issues shaping St. Louis. They delve into an audit of former Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner, revealing misuse of taxpayer funds and inefficiencies in her office. The conversation shifts to Gabriel Gore's appointment as the new Circuit Attorney and progress being made under his leadership. The hosts also cover legislative actions by the St. Louis County Council, including efforts to remove department heads and audit the prosecutor's office under Melissa Price Smith. The segment highlights Mayor Tishaura Jones' travel habits and their effect on city leadership, as well as the lawsuit against St. Louis Public Schools for poor educational outcomes and lack of parental involvement. Chester Asher's efforts to open Ali Academy, a social justice charter school, emphasize the importance of school choice and higher standards for education in the region.

Harder discusses the council's bipartisan efforts and significant budget challenges, while Elhmann highlights the need for regional cooperation, focusing on the success of St. Louis for St. Charles County.

No Chris Rongey today that Amy Marxkors is joined by Michael Kelley to talk about the life of Bill Greenblatt. Pop-Up Christmas Bars and Amy seeing three accidents. The Mess with St. Louis Public Schools and ARPA funds. Finally did you see this.
Amy Marxkors and Michael Kelley discuss everything St. Louis from ARPA funds to the mess with St. Louis Public Schools.
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.

The invitation put forth at the Interview Suite was: Let Your Voice be Heard! In total, I interviewed 71 women. I was truly fortunate to sit with women as they spoke so profoundly from their hearts about their faith-in-action toward the Parliament's themes of: a call to conscience, the support of the human rights and dignity of women, and the care of the next generations of children (which, of course includes care of our earth). This series of interviews gave me a sense of peace and reassurance. The women are activated, and their love cannot be stopped. And I believe that you will find, as I did, that listening to women speak from their fierce hearts, empowers us as women to find our own voices and to take action from our hearts as well.

Dr. Kelvin Adams, Superintendent of St. Louis Public Schools, doesn't have a magic formula for success, or why his leadership role within the St. Louis public school system has lasted for nearly fourteen years. If honesty, sincerity, and providing people with the correct information are magic, he's happy to reveal those secrets. “At the end of the day, it's always about keeping kids first and making them the priority,” Adams said. He joined Dustin Odham to talk about his journey and reveal some best practices for superintendent leadership.Dr. Adams recognizes at its core, being a superintendent is akin to being a business leader. In his line of work, that business is education. And while there can be a lot of noise coming from many sides, it's crucial to filter that out to ensure the best education for the kids is always top of mind.One sage bit of wisdom Dr. Adams offered when it comes to communication. “I never put anything in emails that I could not say to people in their face. People will hide behind that little button called send. And you can't hide behind it.” Emails can be translated differently by many people in many ways. Talking directly to people helps navigate concerns precisely and quickly.Leadership roles kept finding him throughout Dr. Adams' career, even while he continually denied his abilities. It took him a while to recognize within himself the leader others saw. “I think it is about mentorship,” Dr. Adams said. “We must identify people and encourage them. And we must find the right people with the right hearts to do this.” Dr. Adams believes in servant leadership, where to be a great leader, one must have served in the role they will someday lead. Superintendents are leaders who serve, and in this case, they serve the community.

Racism, Sexism, Trumpism, Pseudo-Christianity and the CinemaLionel Barry HarrisWell prior to the 2016 presidential election and many, many years before Spike Lee tackled the subject matter on film, I was virtually obsessed with "Doing the right thing," both morally and spiritually. In addition, I've been on a lifelong quest to be a tangible blessing and inspiration to everyone I interact with, and especially children - whom I was blessed to work with and around for a period of forty (40) years. I truly believe that outward and inner joy is achieved by making others happy and bringing the very best out in them. In essence, I feel we are flesh and blood blessings to one another and not sources of sorrow, pain and turmoil. I have spent an entire lifetime practicing and endorsing the aforementioned principles and I am acutely mindful that there are individuals who fully disdain them. Unfortunately, Donald Trump, our sitting president, is such a person. Therefore, I am diametrically opposed to him and I am compelled to speak out against him.Lionel Harris is a native of St. Louis, Mo. After serving 3 years in the U.S. Army, he engaged in a whole gamut of interesting jobs. After managing a large janitorial service, he was employed by the federal government, the St. Louis Police Dept., the Potter Electric Co. and, most enduring of them all (34 years), the St. Louis Public Schools at the high school level. In addition to being married for 28 years and raising three children, he also worked part-time in the GED program and, later on, drove a school bus for the Ferguson-Florissant School District.https://www.readersmagnet.com/product/racism-sexism-trumpism-pseudo-christianity-and-the-cinema/https://www.dukelharris.com/http://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/lharrisrm.mp3
