| Collapse all
- Ensuring our financial future through tax abatements, outcomes-based contracting, and allocating resources appropriately and equitably for all students across the city.
- Investing in both our students' and teacher's experiences. This looks like rebuilding our pay scale for new and experienced teachers and implementing sustainable and relevant curriculum that excites our students and encourages them to learn.
- Building our collective power to make decisions alongside our school district. 100% of decisions made by school members impacts at least one family. We have to build with our communities, and not just for our communities.
Megan Green, President of Board of Alderman, City of St. Louis
