My name is AJ Foster, and I’m proud to be running for a seat on the Saint Louis Public School (SLPS) Board of Education. As a 2016 SLPS graduate, I am committed to ensuring that every child in our city has the opportunity to succeed—no matter their background or zip code.
Public education is the backbone of opportunity and equity in our society. It's where students discover their potential, build their futures, and learn the value of community and perseverance. But this system faces unprecedented challenges-- challenges that require bold, collaborative, and forward-thinking leadership.
As a candidate for the Saint Louis Public Schools (SLPS) Board of Education, I am committed to exploring long-term, systemic solutions that directly address our district's challenges, like student achievement, retirement and pension funding, procurement, and more. Our students and staff need more than short-term fixes; crafting a SUSTAINABLE vision for our schools will benefit all Saint Louis residents for generations.
