The Wentzville School District is in “hot water” because it dared send an official letter to parents citing black pupils as a reason for low test scores at one of its elementary schools.
Wentzville has a significant black population, unusually so for St. Charles County, because of the existence of the General Motors Assembly Plant. When GM moved the facility to Wentzville from north St. Louis, it did so to try to escape the prospect of having a majority black work force in a nearly all-black area; however, some of its black workers followed GM to Wentzville and established residency there.
