Amber alert for young boys canceled, St. Louis Public Schools to discuss retirement bonuses, Wildwood discusses burgeoning police budget, two women charged with assaulting off-duty officer, Kirkwood…
In an effort to save money on payroll, there's a proposal to offer $25,000 retirement bonuses to veteran staffers at St. Louis Public Schools if they leave before the start of the next school year.
If eligible staff take the deal, it could save the district more than $4 million.
The Post-Dispatch reports the retirement proposal is on the school board's agenda for tonight.
The city of Wildwood facing a massive budget squeeze over its police contract with St. Louis County.
Wildwood is bracing for a potential 5% hike in police costs for fiscal year 2027.
An early proposal suggested cutting four officers to save cash, but the Board of Public Safety flatly rejected that idea, citing rising 911 calls and new high-density apartment developments.
Council member Lauren Wroblewski says her constituents are making their priorities loud and clear.
I have had a number of calls before it even came to us here, a number of calls from residents, people approaching me on the trails.
They do not want the police cut.
They want to keep Wildwood safe and feel that safety of the residents is a primary concern for them.
To bridge the gap, the council is directing a committee to start hunting for new revenue streams.
