Download Callahan's Ruling

By Antonio D. French

Filed Friday, June 15, 2007 at 7:27 AM

Click here to download the Cole County Circuit Judge Richard Callahan's ruling (via the Post), which denied St. Louis Public Schools a restraining order.

Some highlights:

"With absolutely no disrespect intended to the current superintendent and her staff, the Court does not find that the petitioners have carried their burden of proving their position on this issue to be superior. Lastly, on the basis of the evidence presented thus far, the Court finds that the [State Board of Education's] decision to declassify the District as unaccredited was not arbitrary or capricious, was supported by substantial and competent evidence, including a financial report on the District by Geraldine Ogle, the performance standards report by Becky Kemna, and the earlier report issued by the Special Advisory Committee. While the Court acknowledges that Petitioners' argument on the regulation issue may have some merit, the Court is unable to say at this time that petitioners are likely to prevail on the merits of their lawsuit.

"Accordingly, Petitioners' motion for a temporary restraing order is denied."
