Schools The Wentzville School District covers Wentzville, Lake St. Louis, Foristell and parts of O'fallon. The R-IV district has received many instances of negative publicity in the past few years. The former Superintendent was arrested on charges of solicitation, sexual harassment and other things. His replacement, Terry Adams, made a controversial change in the high school schedules. The change was from a Block type schedule to a 7-period a day schedule, removing 'Academic Lab', a 90 minute 'study hall' period. Most students and many teachers argue that there currently is no convenient way for students to receive time to work on homework or get one-on-one time with their teachers, but the change puts the district in line with the rest of the schools in the county. Before the schedule change, the school had statistically been above "in-line" with the rest of the schools in the county. The changes were to increase the education levels of the students, however, MAP testing shows that once the changes were implimented, student test scores fell significantly. Holt High School,recently labeled a "dropout factory" in a college study, has a history of ensuring the school newspaper's articles were in compliance with board policy. Of course, board policy has absolutely no right to interfere with the First Amendment of these United States, however, censorship continued. When a 5 million dollar discrepancy was found in the district, the Holt principal disallowed speculation of the article on the issue. An example of this is the school newspaper including a ban on a student's rational opinion, supported with facts regarding the new schedule changes. The district was unwilling to budge on it's position, however.
The district offices and the school board have come under fire for violating the states 'Sunshine' laws, but these accusations were dismissed, but not proven to be false. An election after the schedule changes were made resulted in one incumbent not being reelected due to the public's popular opinion that he had led the district away from it's original intent of educating.
On November 2nd allegations were made that the Wentzville School District infringed on the rights of a student. This allegation was made as a result of the district taking copyright material of the student and placing on their servers. This information was made available on sccworlds.com and at blueandgold.suddenlaunch3.com.
