Controversial church absent from planned protest at St. Peters high school.
Westboro Baptist Church failed to show up for planned protest at Fort Zumwalt East High School early Monday morning. The controversial church, famous for protest military funerals, announced last week a plan to protest at Clayton High School. Late in the week, the WBC added Zumwalt East to the protest list. The protest was scheduled to begin at 6:55 a.m., but a counter-protest formed well before the scheduled start time. Students, parents and members of the St. Peters and St. Charles County community lined the sidewalks outside the entrance to East just waiting for Westboro protesters. Waving rainbow flags and holding signs with slogans like "God is Love" and "Don't Hate," the rambunctious crowd kept warm on the cold and foggy Monday by …

Following a public hearing, the Fort Zumwalt Board of Education voted on the district tax levy at Monday's regular meeting.

Though data from 2010-11 is still being released, Dr. Jackie Floyd briefed the board on the progress of students according to the standards of No Child Left Behind.
The Fort Zumwalt School District Board of Education met Monday evening for its last regular session before the start of the 2011-12 school year, which begins Wednesday. Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction Dr. Jackie Floyd presented a preliminary progress report on the district’s adherence to federal No Child Left Behind academic standards.

AYP standards are enforced over 18 student subgroups, she continued, including ethnic classifications such as “white…

About $11.5 million of the boost came from the sale of the district’s remaining voter approved obligation general bonds.
