$30M slashed from Saint Louis Public School budget / BIG JOB CUTS COMING
Black aldermen discuss action after $30M slashed from SLPS budget
By Alvin A. Reid Of the St. Louis American
Calling the Special Administrative Board of St. Louis Public Schools’ approval of massive cuts of programs and personnel “ridiculous,” Alderman Terry Kennedy told the American on Wednesday to expect action from black aldermen.
Kennedy, chair of the Aldermanic Black Caucus, said most members of that body “do not agree with the cuts and want to get further involved.”
Kennedy said, “We’re discussing what action we might take.”
