Chris Rongey and Amy Marxkors speak with Chester Asher, founder of Coalition with STL Kids, about the lawsuit filed against St. Louis Public Schools (SLPS) Board and President Antoinette Cousins. The lawsuit alleges First Amendment violations and highlights dire educational statistics: 79% of students reading below grade level and 92% unable to do math at grade level. Asher discusses the coalition’s efforts to improve educational standards, provide free tutoring, and push for a $60,000 minimum teacher salary. He also shares updates on Ali Academy, a planned social justice charter school offering families an alternative to failing schools.
