Parents and community members concerned about the fate of two south city elementary schools breathed a sigh of a relief on Thursday night.
The superintendent of St. Louis Public Schools, Kelvin Adams, told the Special Administrative Board that the district should renovate and keep open Shenandoah and Mann Elementary Schools.
With no further action needed from the board, the future of the historic schools is now secure.
Adams’ recommendation was greeted by a chorus of applause from concerned parents who attended the meeting.
