By Ayittey Bannerman-Menson Post-Dispatch Special Correspondent The ability of students to learn depends on several factors, a task force appointed by the Pattonville School Board has concluded. After a year of research, the Success Factors and Obstacles Task Force has reported that these factors include: The involvement of parents in a student's schooling. Family stability.

The proposal included keeping a house on one of the newly created The legal cloud over the Burke City annexation is the refusal of the state Department of Revenue to recognize it. The department collects and distributes municipal sales taxes. Carlstrom says the department argues that the annexation occurred through the St. Louis County Boundary Commission.

Because the state Supreme Court invalidated the commission before Hazelwood completed that annexation, the annexation is void, the state has said. To pass, the annexation proposals need separate majorities in Hazel-wood and the areas it wants to annex. Police Department where they test the hair follicle. "Gault could submit a hair sample, since it's possible to get results for three months from usage," Eichoff said. Chesterfield Police Chief Ray Johnson said in an interview that his department does the testing then sends the samples to a lab that returns the results to the personnel department.

The council also approved $71,116 to be spent from last year's bond issue to improve the sports fields at Heman Park. The bid, awarded to Jacoms-meyer-Maulden Construction will include grading, seeding and sodding of the fields, installation of backstops and benches and tree removal.

"No names, only code numbers are used, and the results are back within 10 days." The board returned from a closed session to offer the opportunity to Gault to take a second drug test by the hair follicle method. "We're going to get some toxico-logical opinions on this," said Alderman Mark Brown, 3rd Ward, "and if he takes the test and no drugs are present, he will be reinstated."

HOU annexed area "would substantially affect" the ability of the two fire districts to serve their remaining areas. He said state law allowed him to issue his order to preserve the two districts.

The ruling satisfied Hazelwood and the fire districts. Hazelwood officials have said they want the two districts to serve the annexed area and Hazelwood was willing to pay for that.

"We wanted to test the credibility of the evidence, because I had raised some questions about the testing procedures and they weren't interested," Pleban said. "You've put this 17-year veteran officer in a position he has to have an open name-clearing hearing because some members of the board rushed to judgment," Pleban said. "No one extended the common courtesy of telling him he was fired." Mayor Frank Munsch said, "The name clearing is not to challenge the board's decision. You came here to clear your client's name and to prove he wasn't on drugs." Alderman Keith Eichoff, 1st Ward, told the board about the drug testing procedure used by the Chesterfield The St. John Board of Aldermen has defeated a bill that would have banned soliciting money for charities between lanes of traffic.

The board's vote followed a discussion of safety and liability, especially when the solicitors out in the street are youngsters. Alderman Earl Keen, 2nd Ward, said, "The younger ball clubs we held back on because of the danger, the youngsters running out into traffic. We've seen this kind of thing happening and we have just been lucky that nobody has been hit." St. John limits the number of people allowed to solicit at each corner, but board members suggested there be more safety restrictions in the Police From page one City Attorney Robert Herman said mistake was "a clerical error and should have said 12:35.

Their tests showed a positive result times the amount that would be ingested by passive or non-intentional use. Gault said that before the accident he had been called to a home to settle a domestic dispute and found a small amount of marijuana. "I crushed it in my hand, dropped it and ground it into the cement with my foot." Pleban said it was possible that Comprehensive libraries and an effort to remain current with technology.

Carol Pearl headed the task force. The appointment of the task force in January 1994 was part of the Strategic Planning for Student Achievement, a plan to help improve the performance of Pattonville students through the end of the century.

Alderman Lee Taylor, 2nd Ward, said he was concerned about liability, but the financial boost for charities could not be ignored. "So many of these charitable organizations depend on toll roads," Taylor said. The bill's sponsor, Alderman Don Goebel, 1st Ward, was not at the meeting. some of the marijuana could have found its way into Gault's urine sample.

But Dr. Fred Turk, professor of medicine and pathology at Washington University, testified as an expert witness and said, "Potential adulteration by adding marijuana to urine wouldn't create a false positive." Citing Dr. Christopher Long, head of toxicology at St. Louis University, Pleban said, "It is possible to obtain positive results from passive inhalation of marijuana." Davis showed the board a sample of the sealed packet he uses for obtaining urine samples. "I would not give a drug test like the one given at DePaul," he said, referring to the two open bottles given to Gault.

Campbell said the removal of the sample in front of you." Pleban said Gault never had a chance to present his side of the story because he thought he had an agreement with the city.

"They said if he goes in for alcohol-and stress-related chemical evaluation they would agree to put him back on the payroll on a probationary status," Pleban said. Herman said the internal affairs officer attempted to ask Gault on two separate occasions for an explanation and both times Gault had refused to talk. "Following that, if the internal affairs officer believes there are grounds to proceed with charges, they refer to the police advisory board."
