Bus driver urges approval of Proposition S to fund safety upgrades, staffing and pay in Ferguson-Florissant schools
Summary
A bus driver urged voters to approve Proposition S for the Ferguson-Florissant School District, saying it would fund safety and security upgrades, address staffing needs and support competitive pay for non-administrative staff; proponents said it would cost less than $9/month for a $120,000 home.
A bus driver urged voters to approve Proposition S on April 7, saying the local school-funding measure would pay for safety and security upgrades, address essential staffing needs and support competitive pay for non-administrative employees who serve students every day.
"Proposition S is about supporting them," the bus driver said, describing the measure as an investment in school staff and students.
The speaker summarized what supporters say the measure would fund: safety and security upgrades, steps to address staffing shortages and increased pay for non-administrative staff. The speaker added a cost example: "For the homeowner of a $120,000 home in the Ferguson-Florissant School District, Prop S would cost less than $9 a month." The speaker also said, "Seniors approved for the St. Louis County property tax freeze would see no change."
The message framed the proposition as a way to "support our staff" and "strengthen our students," and ended with a request that listeners "make a plan to vote" on April 7.
No opposing views or fiscal details beyond the homeowner estimate and the reference to the county tax-freeze exemption were stated in the recorded remarks.
