SB 298 -- ST. LOUIS SCHOOL DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT This bill clarifies that the City of St. Louis school district superintendent's supervision of the schools is subject to policies established by the board, rather than subject to the control of the board. Currently, the hiring of a treasurer, a commissioner of school buildings, and a director of personnel is required. The bill makes the hiring of these positions permissive. The requirement that the district's teaching appointments and promotions be based on merit is extended to all employee appointments and promotions.Copyright (c) Missouri House of Representatives
