The Webster Groves Board of Education met Thursday, August 27, and received updates on the start of the 2026-27 school year and progress on projects funded through the district’s bond program.

The levy is a targeted investment designed to protect the exceptional educational standards our community values. Through the last few months we have heard from you through surveys, community forums and in other areas. Overwhelmingly, you have said that we must maintain our strong academic and extracurriculars and attract and retain great educators and staff.  

The feedback we've received has been invaluable and is helping guide these important conversations. Throughout the summer, we will continue sharing information about the district's financial outlook. In August, we expect to present the Board with a recommendation informed by community feedback and engagement.

Right now, we are at an important and challenging crossroads. Like many school districts, we are experiencing rising costs and financial pressures that we can no longer absorb within our current budget. Simply put, we cannot continue operating as we are today without making significant changes.
