Missouri to control St. Louis schools 3 more years

The Missouri Board of Education has voted to extend its control over St. Louis public schools for another three years.

The action Thursday means Missouri's largest school district will remain under state supervision until June 30, 2011.

The state took over the district a year ago because of academic and financial problems.

The board also voted to suspend operation of a charter school that caters to high school dropouts because of what one official described as a chaotic atmosphere for students and staff. The state approved "The Can! Academies of St. Louis" last year.
