Local Voices blogger Jeannine, a district parent, shares her experiences with Steve Price and the district. Other district parents also chime in.
As parents in the Hazelwood School District are left wondering why Superintendent Steve Price was replaced last week, one mom has published her opinions about and experiences with Price on her Patch Local Voices blog. When she had concerns with her son’s elementary school, blogger and mom-of-four Jeannine, whose son has a neurological disorder, said she went straight to Price for help, as well as the school board and assistant superintendents. “None of them returned calls to address concerns, made changes, or got involved to see if indeed things were as bad as I said.

If you’ve ever been on Facebook and noticed that one of your friends has “pinned” something, you’ve had your first taste of Pinterest. Whether you’re a teen, a parent, a small business owner or the social media point person for a major corporation, you should be using Pinterest. What’s Pinterest? Currently being called the “third-largest social network,” Pinterest is a social media platform, like Facebook and Twitter, but it focuses primarily on images rather than text. In short, it’s a “virtual pinboard,” which, according to the company, means you can “organize and share all the beautiful things you find on the web.” “People use pinboards to plan their weddings, decorate their homes, and organize their favorite recipes,” reads Pinterest’s…
