The new 5th grade center, to open this August on the new West Ladue campus is on schedule for completion and all renovation costs are under budget according to Dr. Jason Buckner, Ladue's assistant superintendent for business and finance.

Newcomer Dan Regelean and incumbent Jeff Kopolow. Kopolow elected president of the board.
If time consumed has anything to do with it, expect new Ladue School Board President Jeff Kopolow to run fast, snappy meetings. In defense of past presidents, Monday night's agenda had only one discussionable item, setting the salaries for district administrators. Kopolow's first meeting as board president lasted just 16 minutes. The board certitifed the April 2 election results and seated the top to vote recipients, Kopolow and Dan Regelean.

That idea was among a number that are on the table as school district officials discuss how to beef up security at district buildings. A consulting firm may be engaged to look at the district's overall planning.
The Ladue School Board continued its dialogue on school safety at the regular monthly district workshop meeting, and among the ideas discussed was putting police sub-stations in schools. Rich Wooten, Ladue’s chief of police, was among those at the workshop meeting; he said the idea of sub-stations might work. The Ladue district is also considering hiring a security consulting firm. Fees would range anyway from $12,000 to $15,000 for one year of service. On Jan. 31, Jason Buckner of the district and five other district employees attended a county school safety meeting for law enforcement. Buckner reviewed the highlights of the meeting with the school board members. These were some of the highlights of the discussion: The Ladue district is …
