Wrap: With the St. Louis City School District losing its accreditation, parents are trying to send their kids to county schools.
The switch comes at no cost to students because the district is footing the bill.
Clayton District spokesman Chris Tennill says the cost to St. Louis will be a huge burden.

Tennill says 40 St. Louis students have tried to transfer into the Clayton School District.
But the district is still waiting on word from the courts before it allows those students in.

| Description: "It would just really fundamentally change education, not only for us but for other school districts throughout St. Louis county." | |
Courts will decide whether Clayton and other districts have to accept these students.
Until then, Clayton is not allowing any transfers.
