• As state intervention looms, task force leader says St. Louis County schools need regional overhaul (stlpr.org) — Regional education leaders are weighing major changes to struggling north St. Louis County school districts, with options that could reshape boundaries and funding for systems neighboring Clayton, including Normandy and University City.
