We also discussed the failures of local elected leaders beginning with St.Louis Mayor Tishaura O. Jones, to recognize the importance of being involved with the St. Louis Public Schools. All of which contributes to a declining population,of both students of the city’s public schools and city residents, who continue to vote with their feet! -----
