ST. LOUIS—St. Louis Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Keisha Scarlett is on a temporary leave of absence following a special closed door Board of Education meeting Thursday.
This morning, the Board of Education announced Deputy Supt. Millicent Borishade as Acting Superintendent.
The meeting agenda includes a personnel matter but didn’t add any other details.
The Board of Education released this statement Friday morning:
“We are fully confident that, under Dr. Borishade’s leadership as Acting Superintendent, there will be no interruptions in the ongoing work and preparations for the upcoming school year.”
