Deliversario reported that more than 80 solo and small-ensemble entries competed at the district music solo and ensemble contest on March 1, with 36 events advancing to state competition. He also reported that Lindbergh representation at the national racquetball championships in Portland included a first-place finish: Lindbergh senior Eli McCully won boys singles in his division, and the program earned a No. 2 national team ranking in its category.

Why it matters

Student reports summarize extracurricular successes that affect school reputation and student opportunity, and Deliversario described student outreach efforts to inform peers about school governance and elections.

Key points he delivered

- Music: More than 80 events were entered at the district solo and ensemble contest; 36 are advancing to the state level in April.
- Athletics: Lindbergh competed at the national racquetball championships; Eli McCully won first place in boys singles (gold division) and four players earned All‑American honors.
- Student engagement: Deliversario and student moderators attended a board-candidate forum and discussed ways to involve more high-school and middle-school students in civic processes, including using the Lindbergh broadcast program and student e-notes for communication.
- Student advisory meetings: Deliversario and a board member met with student advisory boards at the Idea Center and Concord to discuss program effectiveness; Concord students raised library access as a priority.

Ending

Deliversario closed by noting the value of student involvement in district events and thanking the board. The board recognized his report and wished students a safe and restful spring break.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Board of Education Meeting No. 1613","oneSentenceSummary","Student representative RJ Deliversario told the board Lindbergh music ensembles advanced many events to state competition, a Lindbergh racquetball player won a national title, and student advisory meetings discussed gifted programming, library access and student engagement with school governance.","taxTitle","LINDBERGH SCHOOLS, School Districts, Missouri","taxId",38789,"location","Missouri","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6277334,"Concord, Idea Center present student recognitions and winter assessment growth at Lindbergh board meeting",2595,90000,2685000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2655966-b992221511b857343c36bd1365b32749&start=90&end=2685","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2655966-b992221511b857343c36bd1365b32749/thumbnail_90000.jpg","/articles/6277334/Missouri/Concord-Idea-Center-present-student-recognitions-and-winter-assessment-growth-at-Lindbergh-board-meeting","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6277334-981c5737dc6e6cbc98cffc52f4b349cf/orig.mp4?Expires=1773701276&Signature=SdmPh-H6XV8kd5VSIV8LSJD6NBzc5pdCjAzcY0jvCwFz8QwOmhEXlysmo-gu7yiF8t0-xWKmlcI9O5offVo-ItZzj-X6IKohlbQdBo7CLVuGpYODvs7enhm5gSZ~t3-~6Jyk4uod9ZysnmT4RFdunx4VnYg3cxyxzHEtE8MrBUDbPLUc7aiew5ejpX~wt5kqkw52tgLpA1GxORs~7b8~wfaayMmH9VN8ba91RP3hgExeQPU9S-nPvj9hDBJcBLsD6VOPtntUlz6s-Tz6typL-8sQIc7mBLKxX-hRhrZUs0kv21TN0gEZMmF5TVgmRe0YTa4i23sqs2CeZcLmerIP~w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Concord Elementary and the Idea Center presented student recognitions, staff awards and winter assessment results to the Lindbergh Schools Board of Education on Thursday, highlighting academic growth, classroom practices and new professional learning structures.

Both schools emphasized growth strategies aimed at meeting the district’s Compass goals and fostering student agency and belonging.

Why the reports matter

Administrators from two district elementary programs outlined assessment trends and classroom practices the district says are supporting student growth. The presentations covered NWEA and district assessment data, tiered instructional strategies, and supports for gifted students, and included multiple student and staff recognitions.

Concord Elementary: data and school culture

Principal Mr. Mechler presented Concord’s winter NWEA results and school initiatives. He reported Concord is on track to meet this year’s Compass achievement goal of 80% in grades 3–5, and cited ELA performance of 88% (third grade), 75% (fourth grade) and 80% (fifth grade) in the combined “average, high average or high quintiles.” For math he reported 85% (third), 80% (fourth) and 81% (fifth) in those categories.

Mechler described longitudinal growth over three school years and said the school has reduced the number of students in lower quintiles while increasing those in average or higher growth bands. He highlighted flexible grouping during intervention time, staff coaching labs (a half-day collaborative professional-learning model launched in December), and restorative practices introduced through partnership professional learning sessions.

Concord also recognized student leaders and staff: Pierce Aslam and Lily Scheck were presented as student honorees; Jean Madrid was named Concord teacher of the year; and support staff recognition was given to Becky Rothe.

Idea Center: gifted programs, assessment and acceleration

Dr. Tracy Benary (Idea Center presenter) described the Idea Center’s LEAP and PEGS gifted programs and districtwide gifted metrics. She reported the district’s gifted cohort of “over 800 students” and said winter NWEA results for gifted students showed 98.6% in the high-average or high quintile target for math and 99.7% for reading. Dr. Benary said the Compass growth target is 70% and that gifted-program growth is “harder when students are already in that very high level of achievement”; she reported winter growth of 75.2% in math and 60.11% in reading for the Idea Center at the time of the presentation.

The Idea Center presenter described differentiated grouping, an acceleration policy used when students demonstrate readiness, and coordination between LEAP/PEGS teachers and students’ home schools. She noted full-grade accelerations starting around fourth grade typically involve “between 6 and 12 students” depending on the grade, while in-class flexible grouping produces additional, untracked differentiation.

Other program notes

Concord staff reported 98% of staff feel their voices are heard and described wellness initiatives, staff coaching labs, and student-led leadership opportunities. The Idea Center noted expanded supports at the high school level, including a gifted resource teacher and power-lunch events focused on college readiness, test prep and social-emotional topics. Both presentations included multiple examples of student-led activities and parent-teacher group support for facility improvements.

Ending

Board members asked clarifying questions about assessment comparability (iReady vs. NWEA), how the district tracks in-class flexible grouping, and plans to sustain growth for students already performing at high levels. Administrators directed follow-up questions about monitoring acceleration numbers and implementation to building staff and district instructional teams.","Administrators and principals from Concord Elementary and the Idea Center presented student and staff recognitions and winter assessment results, reporting steady achievement and targeted growth strategies including flexible grouping, coaching labs, restorative practices and differentiated acceleration for gifted students.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6277339,"Lindbergh board approves two CMAR guaranteed-maximum-price contracts for Kennerly and Long elementary projects",0,4137000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2655966-b992221511b857343c36bd1365b32749&start=4137&end=4137","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2655966-b992221511b857343c36bd1365b32749/thumbnail_4137000.jpg","/articles/6277339/Missouri/Lindbergh-board-approves-two-CMAR-guaranteed-maximum-price-contracts-for-Kennerly-and-Long-elementary-projects","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6277339-61d956e2058d82b39decad360678ab39/orig.mp4?Expires=1773701276&Signature=GdgP4NByjLGLum40Y8Uzh0~jcAKqxSU5Q8oPIJOI20-dKuy5rDDq9efBUiSUA15KHpCBOF~EbavAQWUhyeeI9qkwNALxuZFBpdtBF4k8bPXVKzRy8wSQzPJI-T0nnDwW9lGvZkvJKiS6n76wEn~yV~wwVYAGlTv5yKbMmSfUCURAdP8U~bE6jP7RQdJY5aUzjjj26bjxvY3wWSgFPw7eRKIeESeBs~F0XULHy2cergWUS61d7m7x-xviSNJdBZ8AfAzjTW1DUL~71JtxlzJR0mCKsgl2KutAVBXv4Zv2lxyyWasLvWRErljUBPv4IwX2LBTeW~h2QOSgCqox~ep0Bw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Lindbergh Schools Board of Education on Thursday approved two construction management-at-risk guaranteed-maximum-price amendments for renovations funded by the district's 2024 Prop R bond program.

The board voted, 6-0, to approve a $13,196,500 GMP amendment for Kennerly Elementary and a $14,386,200 GMP amendment for Long Elementary and authorized district administration to negotiate and sign the contracts.

Board context and why it matters

The two GMP approvals move major Prop R renovation projects from procurement into contracting. District staff said both projects were publicly bid and reviewed in detail before the board vote. Approving GMP amendments authorizes the Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) to proceed under the agreed maximum price and allows the district to schedule work tied to the 2024 bond proceeds.

What the board discussed

Cabinet and project staff described the competitive public-bidding process used for both projects and said subcontractor bids were opened publicly, tabulated and reviewed for completeness before being included in the CMAR GMPs. Joelle Scheibel, who presented the item for administration, noted Kennerly came in below the district's early estimate while Long came in slightly higher, in part because of anticipated site work that includes an intersection/stoplight issue tied to Long's location. Administrators said the two projects together remain within the district budget set aside for both schools under Prop R.

An architect at the meeting, Arthur Floyd of Building Resource Studios (BRS), was recognized by the board during discussion.

Formal actions and votes

- Motion: Approve the BSI GMP amendment of $13,196,500 for Kennerly Elementary, funded from the 2024 Prop R bond proceeds, and authorize the administration to negotiate and enter into a contract as presented.
- Mover: Board member Julia (as recorded at the meeting)
- Second: Board member Meghan (as recorded at the meeting)
- Tally: Yes 6; No 0. Outcome: approved.

- Motion: Approve the BSI GMP amendment of $14,386,200 for Long Elementary, funded from the 02/2024 Prop R bond proceeds, and authorize the administration to negotiate and enter into a contract as presented.
- Mover: Board member Rachel (as recorded at the meeting)
- Second: Board member Jen (as recorded at the meeting)
- Tally: Yes 6; No 0. Outcome: approved.

Discussion notes and clarifications

Administrators emphasized that the district uses a vendor registry and public bid openings to encourage competition. Staff said bids were opened publicly and that BSI's early estimates aligned with the submitted bids. The board was told the higher cost for Long reflects additional site work (including an intersection/stoplight) and that Kennerly's bid came in lower than anticipated. The district stated the combined costs align with the budget previously allocated for both projects under Prop R.

No board member proposed amendments to either GMP and no recorded no votes or abstentions were entered.

What happens next

With board approval, administration was authorized to finalize contracts and proceed with construction procurement and scheduling under the approved GMPs. District staff indicated construction activity is being coordinated to align with Prop R timelines and campus needs.

Ending

Both motions passed unanimously, allowing the district to move ahead with contracted construction for Kennerly and Long elementaries under the Prop R program. Questions about specific schedule milestones and contractor start dates were referred to administration for follow-up.","The Lindbergh Schools Board of Education voted 6-0 to approve two construction management-at-risk (CMAR) guaranteed maximum price (GMP) amendments—$13,196,500 for Kennerly Elementary and $14,386,200 for Long Elementary—funded from the district's 2024 Prop R bond proceeds, after staff described the public bid process and budget alignment.","actionData","errors"]
