District staff reported the REACH and Samuelson centers are “on schedule to open” and that REACH is expected to be turned over in November; Samuelson will house early‑childhood programming. Staff described completed and underway work: two phases of plumbing at Holt High School addressing urgent needs, structural work and finish plumbing, HVAC upgrades at Timberland and Boone Trail (including lighting and interior upgrades), and tuckpointing at Wentzville Middle and Heritage Elementary. The presenter said some projects were delayed after the failure of Proposition L and that the district has concentrated on the most critical, financially attainable projects.

On assessment and planning, staff told the board they expect a third‑party facility needs assessment by November or December and that the assessment’s findings will help prioritize summer projects and any future bond planning. The presenter said some legacy‑building systems are deteriorating and that delays increase costs over time.

On finance, the district reported closing fiscal year 2025 with a positive result and presented a balanced fiscal year 2026 budget and a balanced five‑year forecast. The presentation cited an unaudited fund balance for FY25 equal to 29% of operating expenses and noted the district’s FY24 audit received an unqualified opinion; the FY25 audit process will begin in the coming months.

Board members asked when the facility assessment would be available and how that timing would affect future community asks for capital funding. Staff said November–December was the target for the assessment and recommended continuing to address the most critical needs with existing operating funds where possible while preparing for broader capital planning.

Speakers on facilities and finance included district staff who presented facility updates and the district finance officer; the board recorded a motion to approve related items where required and acknowledged presentations as part of regular board business.

The board took a motion to approve the CSIP and the motion carried by voice vote.

The CSIP frames three strategic priorities — academic excellence, belonging and resources — and sets measurable goals across attendance, curriculum adoption, achievement/growth and college-and-career readiness. The plan uses district and vendor assessments cited in the presentation (I-Ready, NWEA/MAP and the APR report) and a district family-staff-student survey (Measurable Results Assessment, MRA) as its primary data sources.

According to the presentation, the district’s proportional attendance rate for the previous year was 82.9% with a CSIP target of 90% by the end of the cycle. District leaders said final state testing data were not yet released and that some academic measures will be updated when official results arrive later in the year. On reading, the presenter reported 66% of students were proficient at the end of the prior year and that spring I-Ready growth data showed 61% met growth measures; officials described that result as “maintain[ing] proficiency” during a district-wide shift to a new reading curriculum and instruction model.

The CSIP presentation also summarized curriculum work: the district reported moving from 34% to about 52% of curriculum areas updated within its six-year cycle (170 of 325 curricula). District staff said curriculum adoption includes writing, adopting resources and implementing instruction and that teams are “working very, very hard.”

On belonging and engagement, the board heard that community event attendance and survey participation increased year-over-year (the presentation cited a 3,400 fall survey response and over 4,000 in spring, described as a 16.3% increase). District officials said the MRA baseline for family engagement was 73.22 and that a modest multi-year increase was targeted. Staff-voice measures and employee-satisfaction indicators were also presented; staff voice was reported at a baseline of 79.83 with small positive movement reported in the first CSIP year.

Board members asked questions about the pace of curriculum change, how results should be read during an instructional transition and when final state scores will be available. A presenter said preliminary state data typically become final in November and that the district will return to the board with official results when available. One board member said maintaining a 66% proficiency rate while shifting instructional models was noteworthy but emphasized the need to raise proficiency over time.

The board’s vote formally accepted the CSIP presentation and documented the board’s review; the district will continue regular check-ins with buildings and cabinet-level review of CSIP goals during 2025–26.

A board member had asked whether the changes were new to families and how parents would be made aware; district staff said the procedures have been provided to students and staff for a long time and that the current submission was “informational for the board” and clarified and cleaned up language. Staff also said parts of the policy are required by law and parts are district practice.

After questions were answered and a brief board discussion, the board took a motion and the policy revisions were approved by voice vote.

Speakers on this item included board members who asked clarifying questions and district staff who presented the policy. The board treated the item as approval of updated procedures and not a change in core practice, according to presenters.","After questions and discussion the Winslow board approved revisions to the district’s student and staff acceptable‑use procedures; presenters said most provisions reflect existing law and longstanding practice and that the policy is informational for families and staff.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6165739,"Winslow officials report driver shortage, outline new bus‑tracker and alert tools",177,2727000,2904000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5417956-10fb6b90d57e8424e3f45f8bdf3bf426&start=2727&end=2904","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5417956-10fb6b90d57e8424e3f45f8bdf3bf426/thumbnail_2727000.jpg","/articles/6165739/Missouri/Winslow-officials-report-driver-shortage-outline-new-bustracker-and-alert-tools","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6165739-1983eb053ea426c3883e4321e9f44a90/orig.mp4?Expires=1771149577&Signature=UmgEhYnlMcIc38Yw5sAiOHYbw922cvUQekDEtQQeYLbuhJ0q2VOsn3aa3GMJE4fQd0M7EdGHVOEZLBS5Ia5I-l-UQnBPZpw02YS4GM6exhbGXDztMEGuJ3p~LrgHoTYgiEnB~FRZi4QOP-zUdW9D8157K7RrFecD-LIBBRhoRHBdmAIL9cVC7ZPf1OV7RKYhAYW6AeWgvrtxSUre7BLGlrS895CG1YY-RIS3Cq7zjdZzi3KM4LGwzYyd44NUr8-4YHUPD7zV11sDavlxD3mHYavXjJGRZ5VZpPL79DONwFhURqIefTYiYpaJpHUMdy4xDZuOycY5nl0v1K4SCIHTmg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","District leaders told the board July 17 that transportation remains constrained by driver shortages even after hiring and that the district is rolling out new communication tools for families.

The presenter said the district hired 13 bus drivers in a recent recruitment push but still shows roughly 30 allocated driver positions districtwide; that hiring does not yet eliminate onboarding steps (CDL testing, training) and the presenter estimated the net open positions remain material. The presenter said the district is developing routes that avoid “looping” at the start of the year (routing where buses return to pick up additional students) and is creating fallback plans if driver availability changes.

To improve parent communication about late buses and location, staff described two tools piloted during summer ESY. The “stop finder” app sends opt‑in real‑time alerts by text and email to subscribers on a particular bus when that bus is running late. The district also has a Zone R GPS monitoring tool that building administrators can use to see a bus’s live location when families call for status. The presenter said pilot feedback was “incredibly positive.”

Board members asked how many actual routes remain unfilled and whether hires immediately eased routing; presenters said that because of onboarding steps and position allocations the simple hired count does not equal routes filled and that routing is being designed conservatively to avoid early disruptions.

The district urged families to download and opt in to the stop‑finder app to receive timelier alerts and said it will continue recruiting for bus drivers, instructional assistants and custodians.
