The Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education is investigating whether millions of dollars owed to St. Louis charter schools inappropriately ended up in the coffers of the local school district. Charter school leaders estimate they were shorted more than $7 million last year, or roughly 15 percent of their state funding. St. Louis school leaders said they paid what was owed to charter schools and kept the rest. "These are not dollars that we believe should be paid to the charters," said St. Louis Public Schools CFO Enos Moss. Gerri Ogle, associate commissioner of finance for the state department, said her staff will look at the funding sent to the charter schools and if the St. Louis district underpaid the charters, the district would have to reimburse them.
