• Area districts tighten rules on e-bikes and e-scooters as new school year begins (ksdk.com) — Clayton families should know that the school district now bans all electric bikes and motorized scooters on campus at all times, including evenings and weekends. The policy is stricter than nearby districts that still allow walking e-bikes on school grounds, and it comes amid broader St. Louis-area efforts to manage fast-growing e-bike use and keep crowded school zones safer.
