Since its launch in 2015, the city has spent about $2 million on the College Kids program, which has enrolled more than 23,000 students who live or once lived in the city of St. Louis. Students automatically enroll in the program in their kindergarten year, but they aren’t supposed to access the money until after they graduate from a city public or charter high school.

ALTON - Former Alton Chapter Of AFSCME 124 Labor Union President Byron Clemons, 36, entered a guilty plea to one count of interstate transportation of stolen money and was sentenced to 18 months in prison and ordered to pay restitution after he embezzled $202,100 in union funds.
