The Saint Louis Public Schools board on March 24 approved multiple items during its work session, including financial reporting, a university partnership, policy updates and a cybersecurity contract.
On the single audit for the year ending June 30, 2025, speaker 7 noted the audit was clean and would be submitted to state and federal authorities. The board approved the submission by roll call.

Each motion passed by recorded roll call votes.
