SUMMARY: The St. Louis Board of Aldermen has not yet reached a decision on allocating nearly $300 million from the Rams settlement funds, as plans stalled during a recent meeting. Tensions escalated after Board President Megan Green left abruptly, accusing an alderman of being drunk. Two competing proposals, one for infrastructure and the other for community investments, failed to gain support, leaving the funds unspent. Mayor Tishaura Jones expressed hope for future consensus, while community groups emphasized the need for action to address urgent city needs and stimulate growth in disadvantaged areas. A final decision may not come before the April 8 election.

SUMMARY: Migraine disorders can significantly impact students’ ability to learn and succeed in school. Recent changes from the Department of Education now allow migraines to qualify for 504 plans, which provide necessary accommodations for affected students. The process began after a collaboration between advocates and Representative Cori Bush. With these new guidelines, it will be easier for parents to secure 504 plans for their children, offering accommodations like breaks, reduced lighting, or permission to have snacks in class. Parents can learn more about these resources at MigraineAtSchool.org, which offers support for navigating the challenges of migraines in school.

SUMMARY: In Missouri, child care challenges are impacting the manufacturing sector, with 94 of 114 counties classified as child care deserts.
