JEFFERSON CITY — The Senate gave first-round approval today to a bill that would correct an error in the funding calculations for the Riverview Gardens District.

Sen. Tim Green, D-Spanish Lakes, sponsored the bill because former superintendent Henry Williams made an error that means the district will receive less state money until the 2012-2013 school year. Green said his bill would simply correct this error.

The body needs to vote one more time for it to move to the House.

I am not understanding that in riverview graduating from there due to the fact of no accredidation that a good college is out the question but now they’re dismissing teachers? My children attend riverview and at least you can keep the teachers to give them at least a fighting chance to be accepted to a good college although there forced to attend the school thats in the district they live.

Ms.Taylor I’m sorry that your children have to attend Riverview. You might be one of those parents that takes an interest in the success of their child education, unfortunately there are too many children that are enrolled in the district that drive the test scores into the ground, I.E. the Map test.

Also children that attend the Middle to high school are not able to learn because of the distraction of a few children. Fear is a great motivator and many children are victims of the few. Because of the Juvenile laws, reports are kept secret of the amount of “crimes” intimidation committed against the good students.

Maybe the amounts of students that will leave the district are those that are the primary disrupters within the system. Good luck.

Hey whats the point when they have two superintendents on the payroll, and for almost half a decade each audit has found they REQUIRED a control in place (i.e. auditor) only to ignore it? You know what STL you need to do an expose on these two issues, 1) why the heck they have two superintendents on the pay roll (is it race based since one has experience and the other has nothing) and two why the last one was forced to leave?
