For many of us, mastering muting, unmuting and other basics of virtual work and schooling has proved to be a challenge on top of everything else this past year. But St. Louisan Susanne Evens and her team of translators around the world have been busy in recent months tackling a different challenge: how to make large-scale, international gatherings possible, and still understandable, in a virtual age.

St. Louis County Library Director Kristen Sorth discusses the GrandPad initiative, intended to distribute about 1,500 tablets as part of a Digital Equity Initiative.

The bill would also restrict how much municipalities can reduce police department budgets and it would establish a fund for officers who have experienced trauma.

The Webster Groves Democrat talks about a bid to expand charter schools and the challenge of getting kids back to in-person learning.

The proposed charter amendment aims to change the way St. Louis wards are drawn and bring more transparency over conflicts of interest on the Board of Aldermen. If the petition drive is successful, residents would vote on it in a November special election.

One of the notable parts of the debate was frank answers about whom the candidates would support if they don't advance to the April 6 election.
