Lindbergh School Board celebrates student achievements and announces upcoming events

The Board of Education Regular Meeting No. 1616 held on May 16, 2025, focused on several key updates and announcements relevant to the Lindbergh School District community.

The meeting began with a review of upcoming events, including the 75th anniversary Green and Gold Gallup Community 5K scheduled for May 17 and the graduation ceremony for Lindbergh High School seniors on May 21. The last day of school is set for May 23, followed by a closure for Memorial Day on May 26. The district offices will also be closed on Fridays throughout June and July, with the next board meeting planned for June 17.

Board members shared insights from recent events, including a sixth-grade design thinking presentation at Truman School. One board member highlighted the students' impressive presentations on emotional wellness, which included a proposal for a bulletin board where students could express their emotions and receive supportive messages from peers.

In a significant announcement, the district received multiple recognitions from Saint Louis Community College, including awards for the most money saved overall and the highest average savings per dual credit student. The total savings for families amounted to over $1.8 million, reflecting the district's commitment to providing valuable educational opportunities.

The board also discussed the conclusion of advisory committees, with new members set to join various committees, including finance and communications, in the upcoming year. Applications for these positions will be available on the district website next month.

Looking ahead, the agenda for the next board meeting will include discussions on board policies, recognitions for the district's Teacher of the Year, meal prices for the 2025-2026 school year, and final bus routes for the upcoming school year. The board encourages community members to attend these meetings, which are open to the public.
