When Public School Transfers Don’t Transfer

Submitted by: johnqpublic

With all of the controversy surrounding St. Louis Public Schools, it seems ironic that some parents this fall were actually trying hard to enroll their children back in the City even though they lived in St. Louis County. But, as the St. Louis Post Dispatch recently-pointed out: few options really exist for parents that need new choices. Missing in this article was that parents caught in this pinch between public school districts cannot even apply for a public charter school option, either. Now, call me naïve, but isn’t it time to figure out some way for parents to have a public school option available to them without requiring them to move?
