If any students from Normandy and Riverview Gardens end up in the Mehlville and Francis Howell school districts, it it likely that the receiving districts will cherry-pick. Somehow, they will find a way to get those with the higher test scores, athletic prowess, etc. Personally, I do not support the law. I think it would be better to give the unaccredited districts the resources they need to reduce class sizes, offer sufficient summer school and the other things that will help students.
