History

On June 7, 1975, a U.S. district court ordered FFSD to annex the Berkeley School District and the Kinloch School District; therefore, the Ferguson-Florissant district began to serve Berkeley and Kinloch. [4]

In 2004, Berkeley High School closed, replaced by McCluer South-Berkeley High School. [4]

On December 8, 2010, the Board of Education named Dr. Art J. McCoy, II as Superintendent. He was the first African-American superintendent for the school district and at age 33 was one of the youngest in the state of Missouri and nation. [5]

On Jan. 30, 2015, the Board of Education unanimously approved Dr. Joseph Davis as superintendent of schools, effective July 1.[ citation needed ]

In 2018 the district formally closed its previous administration building, which it already moved out from. On a 4–2 vote, in which board members of different ethnic backgrounds voted different ways, the district closed or moved a different program into Airport Elementary, Mark Twain Alternative, and Vogt Elementary schools and converted McCluer South into a selective STEAM school. [6]

Previously the district headquarters were in Florissant. [7]
