Date: June 3, 2024
Summary: Today’s guest is Chester Asher, Activist and leader at Coalition STL Kids. Chester sat down with Staci to discuss the dire need for improved reading scores in SLPS, how to create change within a large school system, and the need for accountability and goals in all St. Louis school systems. “For SLPS, not only are you not educating the kids in your stead, but you have the audacity and the deep level of racism to limit other people from educating the kids that you refuse to. You either refuse to or are unable to, but for decades you have not.” -Chester Asher.
