Webster Groves School District Budget Errors & More
from The Ben Broghammer Show Hosted by Broghammer Media
What began as a simple question for missing pieces in the Webster Groves School District budget for 2026-2027, published on the district’s own website, led to the quick admission of errors and mislabeling by district leadership. Instead of being transparent to tax payers, this document was subtly updated on the district website and a footnote added, with the district refusing to make any formal statement as of the publication of this episode. Ben is the one who found the error, pressed the district for answers, and is working to hold the school board and district leadership accountable. Also Prop W, the effort to raise roughly $9 million to fill the $5.6 million deficit the district is facing is also discussed in detail. Get the full story in this episode. Also, Ben discusses the continuation of political violence in our region, and calls out those who accept and celebrate it. This is the Ben Broghammer Show. LOCAL INVOLVEMENT IS VITAL!
