The St. Louis Board of Education has fired Superintendent Dr. Keisha Scarlett during a special closed session. Scarlett had been on paid leave since July 26 while the board investigated district finances. The board voted 6-0 to terminate her contract, and she has the option to contest the decision at a hearing, which would occur by the end of October. In the interim, Dr. Millicent Borishade, who has been acting superintendent since July, was appointed to the role for the remainder of the 2024-25 school year, pending certification approval. The board is also submitting key financial documents for a state audit and has introduced a new app, First View, for parents to track bus locations in real time. These changes aim to enhance accountability and improve the upcoming school year.
