Representatives from St. Louis Public Schools outlined the academic advancements they've made despite having to restructure a shattered budget. Evan Godt (Got) reports from Jefferson City.
St. Louis Public Schools met with the Missouri Board of Education to prove they are making strides to move toward full accreditation.
In 1999, the school district met just 3 out of 11 performance standards for Missouri schools and the school was put on a provincial accreditation basis.
A review of the 2003 school year presented to the board showed the school now meets 8 of the 11 standards and is falling just short of full accreditation.
Interim superintendent Floyd Crues says that while his schools are improving, he is not satisfied where the district currently sits.
The school district has made the improvements despite having made 93 million dollars in cutbacks.
