After the forced departure of former St. Louis schools Superintendent Creg Williams, philanthropies, business leaders and educational advocates across the region are re-evaluating commitments of money and service to a perpetually unstable school district.
'There is an overriding sentiment of deep disappointment by the business community and the community at large,' said Dick Fleming, president and CEO of the St. Louis Regional Chamber and Growth Association. 'The disappointment is due to the loss of a sense of real progress in terms of direction and Creg Williams' stature to be superintendent. When you feel that sense of momentum and it's abruptly changed, it is human nature to pause.'"
