Normandy School District

Issues like health protocols in schools and debates over curriculum have made their way into school board elections this year.

Community leaders in the Normandy Schools Collaborative say the gradual return to local control of the district is an important step forward.

The Opportunity Trust says it wants to improve public education in St. Louis. But its doubters say it has bigger plans it’s not being transparent about.

Community leaders have been upset with recent leadership decisions and lobbied the state board for changes.

The Leadership School won a charter from a divided state school board Thursday and plans to open as an elementary school in north St. Louis County next fall. It will be located somewhere within the boundaries of the provisionally accredited Normandy school district.

If approved by the Missouri State Board of Education, the Leadership School will open next fall as the first charter school outside St. Louis or Kansas City.

Some reopening schools in the St. Louis area are trying to make use of whatever grass and outdoor space they have, banking on it being a safer place to bring students back than indoors.
