The St. Louis School Board of Education, which just met yesterday, will meet again on Friday for an Emergency Special Board Meeting at the Administrative Building, 801 N. 11th Street.
The last such meeting ended with the abrupt resignation of Superintendent Creg Williams and a whole beehive full of new controversy for SLPS.
This Special Meeting will begin at 3:00 p.m. in open session and will move immediately into closed session to discuss an undisclosed emergency legal matter.
Developing...
UPDATE: An SLPS spokesperson has sent out another meeting notification -- this time without the word "emergency."
"This should not be considered an emergency meeting," he wrote in his email correcting the earlier announcement.
With the ongoing legal issues involving board members Veronica O'Brien (who appeared in court last week seeking a restraining order against a former district employee) and Bill Purdy (who at least two other board members are seeking to have removed from the board) -- not to mention the numerous legal issues normally facing any district the size of SLPS -- there is no guessing which issue this meeting will be about.

Star, you Slay me! How can you conclude with saying that the Board "never ceases to surprise!", if you are the one who came up with those scenarios? Are you sitting on a bunch of rejection letters from the New Yorker for your fiction submissions, so you try out some of it here on us Commoners?

Monsieur Clouseau ici: Anonymous, you are too funny, and I like what you wrote. What is so funny? You said: "Star, you Slay me!" Did you think of his honor when you said that? You must have since you capitalized "Slay."
Eh bien, too funny, mon ami. Merci for giving us a well-deserved chuckle.
Oui, Star, where do you get such things? Personnel matters, legal matters, and real estate matters are all closed session and emergency meeting qualifications.
Don't you think, Star, if you can be really truthful, that it was the previous board that pulled many of the biggest surprises?
A bientot.

All did you hear that Creg Williams is under investigation in Chicago? Oh no, Mr. Perfect is in more legal trouble outside of St. Louis.

Star- maybe we should call this soap opera "As the Money Burns." Kevin- the French accent is weak. At least you have stopped using parenthesis (everywhere.)

You, anonymous with the rumours, if you know something about Creggie, a link please or source.. or is it easier to run your mouth off?

Inspecteur Clouseau ici: I too would like to see a link to "investigate," as is my profession.
Je regrette, "anonymous," but I do not know a Kevin. Who is Kevin? Is he somewhere on this blog? Tell me more, and I will investigate, as is my profession.
Merci en avance. Thank you in advance. Mes amis, you may wish to know that it is only 63°F (17°C) en Paris today. Much better than Saint Louis!

Investigation, no rumor. Learn to look in the right places. Creg's dirt is coming

Why do you care if you have dirt on Creg, he is gone, move on. Nobody is even talking about the dirt on Ms. Diana...who has an old drug charge in her past from those wild college days

Does anyone have any information in regards to the closed board meeting last night?

Where do you people get this stuff? Under investigation in Chicago? Please... Either post some substantive evidence or understand that you're at risk of slandering the man. Just let him be gone. He is probably sitting in his home in Chicago shaking his head and chuckling at the idiots in St. Louis who just can't move on. This is why our city is in an utter shambles.

The board meeting was a feeble attempt to pass some kooky resolution about the prior board's intentions regarding not changing bylaws to allow Bill Purdy to sit on the board in spite of having immediate family members employed by the district. The case goes to court in the morning.
