Out-of-district students
In 2013, the Missouri Supreme Court upheld a law that allowed students attending unaccredited school districts to transfer to other schools. A lawful decision was made that students from a neighboring county's failing Normandy School District, which was predominantly black, would attend the majority white Francis Howell School District. This led to Francis Howell district parents voicing concerns against the transfer of students even though they would pay out-of-district tuition. The town hall meeting went on for over two hours with almost 3,000 people in attendance. One parent at Francis Howell Central High School said, "I deserve to not have to worry about my children getting stabbed, or taking a drug, or getting robbed" which was supported by many cheers. Many of these parents were later criticized by some as racist and classist. Other parents drew similarities between their current controversy and that of desegregation busing during the Civil Rights Movement. In 2014, the Francis Howell School District decided it would no longer accept out-of-district students. The Missouri State Board of Education had recently reconstituted the Normandy District as the Normandy Schools Collaborative and eliminated its "unaccredited" status.
