St. Louis’ Board of Education passed a resolution Tuesday
calling for lawmakers to put the brakes on any new charter schools in the city, a day after St. Louis Public Schools announced a formal partnership with some charter schools.

The city’s school board has no power to stop charter schools from opening or closing. That power rests solely with state lawmakers.
