Ferguson‑Florissant R‑II Superintendent Howard Fields delivered a State of the District presentation focused on early actions from his first 100 days, district finances and a plan to stop deficit spending, preliminary Annual Performance Report results, enrollment and building‑utilization data and a new initiative called "Ferg Floor Forward." He announced a $6.3 million EPA Clean School Bus grant partnership to purchase 21 electric buses and 10 chargers, outlined targets for unrestricted fund balance and potential levy/bond options, and opened a brief public Q&A on Chromebooks, special‑education collaboration, safety incidents and staff morale. The board approved the meeting agenda and adjourned after the presentation.
