Firefighters Plan Lawsuit Tied to Turner v. Clayton Debate

Some St. Louis firefighters want to send their children to suburban schools, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.

St. Louis Fire Department employees plan to sue suburban school districts as part of the ongoing school transfers debate, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported Tuesday. The announcement comes amid discussion about the ramifications of the Turner v. Clayton court case.

Quoting from the Post-Dispatch article:

"The lawsuit would sue districts for failing to comply with the statute that says children in unaccredited districts may transfer to nearby better schools at the expense of their home district. Firefighters today are to announce which suburban districts will be targeted in their lawsuit."
