Del Rosario delivered his final report at the May 15 Lindbergh School District Board meeting, urging the board to reconsider the district's policies on heritage wear during graduation and summarizing student council activities and achievements.

Del Rosario said the senior class of 2025 is graduating May 21 and called attention to the variety of post-graduation plans. He advised the board to \"reconsider their policy on heritage wear, such as stoles during graduation,\" saying Lindbergh could allow certain heritage pieces with appropriate guidelines and cited neighboring districts Webster Groves and Kirkwood as examples.

Del Rosario also reported student achievements: sophomore Marlee Steiner was selected to the U19 United States national volleyball team and will train and compete in Canada; junior Marley Boss won second place in the 2025 Congressional Art Competition for Missouri's 2nd District and will have her work displayed in Congresswoman Ann Wagner's office. He summarized recent Student Board Representative Advisory (SBRA) meetings that addressed transition supports for eighth graders, digital literacy, and classroom uses of AI (examples included exploring topics in math and grading Spanish prompts).

Del Rosario did not present a formal proposal for immediate board action; his request that the board reconsider heritage-wear policy was presented as advisory. The board did not take action at the meeting on policy changes discussed in his report.

Joelle Scheibel explained the amendment is a standard annual item under the district's five-year contract with SFE. Under the arrangement the contractor administers and manages the food service operation; all revenue flows through the district and the district reimburses SFE for program costs and pays a fee per meal and a la carte item for the contractor's services. Scheibel said the operating budget for the district food service program is approximately $3,900,000 and that the contractor's fee increased slightly as part of the annual adjustment.

The board had a motion to approve the contract amendment; the motion was seconded and passed on a 7-0 vote. No additional financial appropriation beyond the district's existing food-service budget was approved at the meeting. Scheibel described the item as a routine administrative renewal and said the district had gone out to bid previously when the five-year contract was awarded.

Jones described her daughter's struggles with anxiety and said family-level restrictions (removing YouTube at home, limiting devices) were insufficient when school-issued tablets were taken home. She told the board she has seen students \"more tired, harder to engage, and more anxious\" and asked the district to \"consider a policy that reflects the growing research and data and limit student access to YouTube and other highly addictive online content throughout middle school and elementary.\" Jones clarified her request would not prevent teachers from using videos in-class: \"Teachers can share videos as a class, embed videos and presentations, and use Edpuzzle, for example.\"

The comment was delivered during the citizen communication portion of the meeting; no formal board action or staff directive was recorded in response at that time. Board members did not vote on a policy change during the meeting. The speaker asked the board to consider policy changes informed by research; any formal review or action would require a referral to staff or a committee and follow-up at a future meeting.

Mike Strotman, presenting for Truman, introduced student honorees including Grace Letner and George Bull and recognized Jody Jenkerson as Truman's Teacher of the Year and Jody Avery as Support Staff Person of the Year. The presenter described the staff as \"high quality\" and said staff well-being and school culture were priorities.

The report emphasized student growth and use of data. Strotman said the school uses norm-referenced assessments (NWEA) alongside classroom proficiency scales to inform targeted small-group instruction and personalize learning. On the district's 80% proficiency goal in NWEA, he said Truman did not reach the target and is \"really looking at how do we align curriculum, assessments, and our standardized assessments\" to address gaps.

Strotman described classroom innovations under the \"building thinking classrooms\" framework, including vertical boards and random groupings to promote problem solving and critical thinking; he noted these approaches are being expanded across math classes. Addressing concerns about math specifically, he said: \"It's okay to make mistakes. We'll learn from it and move on in a positive manner,\" describing efforts to foster growth mindset and continuous improvement.

On construction at Truman, Strotman reported that contractor BSI has been communicative and that disruptions have been manageable: \"They come with a great education mindset...communication has been great,\" and teachers have warned students about audible drilling during activities. The presenter said staff are doing walk-throughs to ensure safety and that some parents have been given opportunities to view construction areas.

No formal board direction or policy decisions resulted from the presentation; it was provided for informational purposes and to highlight school-level initiatives and next steps for addressing math performance.

","Truman Middle School presented student and staff recognitions and a learning report emphasizing student growth, standards-aligned assessments, personalized learning and building-thinking classrooms. Presenters said construction has been \"seamless\" so far and discussed math performance targets.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6236468,"Lindbergh Early Childhood honors students and staff; principal outlines social-emotional, play-based approach",923,86000,1009000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3359811-69837e138a55a9fe610741f5413aa503&start=86&end=1009","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3359811-69837e138a55a9fe610741f5413aa503/thumbnail_86000.jpg","/articles/6236468/Missouri/Lindbergh-Early-Childhood-honors-students-and-staff-principal-outlines-social-emotional-play-based-approach","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6236468-91f07264d7d8b4e5b4e3efcd904eeee1/orig.mp4?Expires=1770917880&Signature=OrjDy7kQ283C1QNxubAuEJRbZ2-uW8uAoiOl47XKl7CtmDcgwSq3nfuKzSUAxgWfozeFL78hNy3r623lu1Yu3hoBCXXrPBl6M91pFaZe9favhUaiNyg7HPoW4qYCYdbsIZ6TKyLYlA6Fz3vyfMACKesK~RKa~RBU5ddg9inN2HSGv1apZgGZh6egeBQwJVwKYDTjDLNst~1wsV9ubGei8Xl5J3-DGhVRS0gAqi6YZKbbSME67HhwIEFkSC8ZQRCl0RtJruIEJBS603q0A6s6bOG12vjzw-brRfO3Fdf790wgd22tnO-QKcmlOm~a891JbzxD4ByaE20BMjg9TzJwyw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Early Childhood staff recognized five prekindergarten students and two staff members and presented the program's learning report at the Lindbergh School District Board of Education meeting on May 15.

Miss Caitlin McGovern introduced the students moving into district elementary schools, describing Maxwell, Bodhi, Emma, Georgia and Emerson as examples of the program's focus on kindness, inclusion and creativity. Colleen Kubiak was recognized as Teacher of the Year for her 12 years in special education, and Abby Keller was recognized as Support Staff Person of the Year for her work as a classroom facilitator in the Dragon Playroom.

McGovern framed social-emotional learning (SEL) as central to early childhood practice, saying the program focuses in the first trimester on \"problem solving, self control, collaboration, and competence\" and that teachers are creating developmentally aligned proficiency skills for ages 2 to 5. She invited board members and patrons to visit classrooms to see the district's play-based, constructivist approach in action: \"I warmly invite each of you to visit our classrooms and see the great things happening in our classrooms,\" McGovern said.

The presentation described use of MTSS (multi-tiered system of supports) processes and plans to integrate tools such as Infinite Campus and EduCLIMBER next year to enhance individualized SEL tracking and district alignment. McGovern highlighted hands-on projects (a trunk-or-treat with student-led trunks, a coat drive that collected 27 bags of winter gear, and a food drive exceeding classroom goals) as examples of connecting social-emotional skills to measurable activities.

The board approved two consent resolutions that evening honoring district teachers of the year and district support staff persons of the year. The motions were moved and seconded and passed 7-0.

The report and recognitions were presented as part of the district's routine recognitions and learning reports and did not result in board direction or formal policy changes at the meeting.
