January 24, 2012

Excerpt Taken from Stltoday.com:

Members of the St. Louis Fire Department filed a lawsuit today (Tuesday, Jan. 24) against four area school districts over their failure to allow students in unaccredited school districts to transfer to better schools without paying tuition. To read the entire article, click HERE.

The public statement by the Kirkwood School District is as follows: The Kirkwood School District is waiting for guidance from the courts regarding non-resident students seeking transfer from unaccredited schools. We understand that this involves complex legal issues that we hope are resolved in the court system so that KSD can proceed appropriately. The Turner vs. Clayton court case is set for a bench trial on March 5, 2012. All indications point to the fact that the case will actually make it to trial on this date and that the trial will likely be completed by the end of that week. We currently have a list of 47 families from unaccredited school districts who are interested in attending Kirkwood Schools.
