Police and security officials in Jefferson City broke up a student protest among St. Louis students who were staging a protest during a meeting where the state of Missouri decided to strip the St. Louis Public School District of its accreditation.
At least one student was arrested; it wasn’t immediately clear if other students were place under arrest.
The meeting was postponed, then resumed after at least some of the students were removed.
The board then voted 5-1 to remove the district’s accreditation. The board then voted to nominate Rick Sullivan to a post overseeing the St. Louis district.
