After much discussion, the board decided to maintain the status quo.
Studies show proof positive that high school students do better by starting their school day later in the morning, and the converse is true (earlier) for middle school students. The Ladue School District surveyed the parents concerning change of school day hours and the results were inconclusive. Half wanted change, have did not. Some 71 percent of Ladue Horton Watkins students indicated they prefer to leave it just where it is, a 7:40 start to their day. Many LHWHS students either participate in a wide variety of after-school activities (music, drama, sports), hold part-time jobs or want to jump start their homework assignments. They get out at 2:20 p.m. daily. A handful of elementary school parents have shown interest in having their …

If approved, the measure will raise the district's tax levy by 49 cents.
The Ladue School Board will let voters decide next year whether to increase its tax levy by 49 cents. The board voted 5-1 on Monday to place a proposition up for a public vote authorizing the school district “to increase the operating tax levy of the District by $0.49 per one hundred dollars of assessed valuation.” According to the ballot language, the increase would be used for “paying for costs of educational programs, school supplies and equipment, student transportation, employee salaries, utilities, maintaining existing facilities, and other operational expenses of the District.” If the measure is approved by voters, the adjusted operating levy for the district is estimated to be $3.24 per one hundred dollars of assessed valuation. …

Some board members find idea transformational, while others feel it could threaten a proposed tax levy.
Students at Ladue Horton Watkins High School would get a laptop under a proposal discussed Monday at a Ladue Board of Education work session. Rob Highfill, who serves as Ladue School District's Director of Information Technology Services, gave a presentation to the board dubbed the “21st Century Learning Initiative.” At the heart of the plan is providing every high school student in the district with a laptop by the 2012-2013 school year, which he said could result anywhere from a $100,000 to $165,000 a year increase in the yearly capital budget. Highfill said the initiative could provide students with expanded and constantly updated information. He also said laptops would provide students with access to technology resources at all times…

Three slots opening in April on Ladue School Board attract one candidate each.
It’s no contest in the Ladue School District. Stacy Washington and Andy Bresler will become new directors on the Board of Education in April, when two of the present directors’ terms expire. Ken Smith, the lone incumbent, has filed for a third three-year term as one of the board’s three directors. Because three filed, and there are three positions open, there will be no election, saving the tax payers the expense. Donna Smith and Bob Glik will be leaving the board when their terms expire in the spring. Smith presently is vice president of the board, Glik its treasurer. Washington brings a few months of board experience to her position, having come aboard for a few months at mid-year to fill a previous vacancy. Ken Smith, a board member …
