\"The state's passed a number of laws that's provided guidance for our schools to have strong systems in place to support students through reading,\" Kevin Buckner said, noting recent state requirements related to assessment and dyslexia identification have shaped the district’s current processes.
Buckner and Luecky said the review will examine four focus areas: instructional resources and alignment to the science of reading, program structure and staffing, professional development and continuous improvement for interventionists, and how reading intervention fits within the district’s MTSS framework. They noted the district has 31 reading interventionists across 19 school buildings and said there were approximately 803 Reading Success Plans filed last school year.
On dyslexia, Buckner said the review will include an assessment of screening tools and identification processes. \"That is part of this,\" he said in response to a board question about detecting dyslexia.
The presenters also discussed summer supports and methods to help families maintain reading progress between school years: the district provides summer-school options and a summer hub of resources, and reading specialists check in with students who had summer support to monitor continuity.
The timeline: survey development in fall, data collection and focus groups in winter, and recommendations and findings prepared for the board in spring. Buckner said the district would analyze assessment data such as NWEA and reading-success-plan metrics and look at research and best practices.
Board members praised the work and asked questions about dyslexia screening, summer support and consistency across schools; no vote was taken — the presentation was informational and the district will return with recommendations in the spring.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Board of Education Meeting - September 25, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Parkway staff outlined a comprehensive review of elementary reading intervention that will evaluate resources, staffing, assessment and program alignment with state reading laws; the review will include surveys, focus groups and data analysis with recommendations planned for spring.","taxTitle","Parkway C-2, School Districts, Missouri","taxId",13452,"location","Missouri","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},5973206,"District launches comprehensive review of gifted program to study structure, equity and social-emotional supports",581,2095000,2676000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5842468-7c45914e8d1ed385a248944f9d53b406&start=2095&end=2676","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5842468-7c45914e8d1ed385a248944f9d53b406/thumbnail_2095000.jpg","/articles/5973206/Missouri/District-launches-comprehensive-review-of-gifted-program-to-study-structure-equity-and-social-emotional-supports","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5973206-5f337fd74793c2074cb35987d0fefb41/orig.mp4?Expires=1771120178&Signature=GXoIr9DDJyJnOvaXchy1MqFSAsxuWUcWa-d6LGV75btCVC0KWfrEpDsFAiOdBkpm5MK7RfjleNNm7XYkLh6AwkG8-6ixzrMtdx3e~SFfN-wyJCG26jyeKYJjIl~zJlZzVU6v14OIo~ElMH73Im8kQwyKUFPwjk4JjjFl-EDrrIrN6J-8yH5du7A51mS6N4PF3GFeFukl0ii3O4VLKdjCbhRNy8TjSKmx4t5K2~0SHZSlpePkdqhBwwIslAfZqeGeFRM6dGbpHCE21HwTXWzEJDcaXM~JJomAUY1ANzxZsYTmIBE5p6snOvuyXfzng1VjiuFqYYFUWCBpCvSsN5PI9Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Molly Glaser, gifted program lead, told the board on Sept. 25 that Parkway has launched a comprehensive evaluation of its gifted program to study five focus areas: mission and philosophy; program structures; standards and curriculum; social-emotional learning; and identification processes.
\"We have 5 areas that we really wanna focus our learning on,\" Molly Glaser said, describing plans for surveys, four focus groups, school visits and comparison research. She said the evaluation team includes elementary and middle representatives, principals, a gifted tester and district assessment staff.
Glaser said the district is particularly interested in equity and access: changes at the state level (DESE) removed race as a consideration in some identification measures, and Parkway is reviewing whether its identification and universal screening practices still ensure equitable access. \"We want to make sure that we are still being equitable to all of our students in Parkway,\" she said.
The presentation outlined program-structure questions: the role of enrichment within the district’s MTSS, the scheduling of middle-school gifted classes (currently offered opposite PE), space constraints in the Mosaics Academy at Piermont and West Middle School, and potential enrollment limits (presenter said the academy has 35 elementary and 35 middle-school seats). Glaser said the district serves about 1,700 students in its gifted program, roughly 10% of the student population.
On social-emotional supports, Glaser said gifted students often have distinct SEL needs, including twice-exceptional students and issues such as perfectionism; the review will examine SEL data access, targeted curriculum and partnerships with school teams. The timeline: surveys and focus groups from November–December, analysis in February–April, and a final board presentation in April.
Board members asked several operational questions, including how Mosaics Academy transports students (busing from regional pickup points), whether the high-school liaison covers all high schools (presenter: yes, about two hours per week per building), and the number of students in the program (presenter: 1,700 total; academy seats capped at 35 at elementary and 35 at middle school). The board did not take any vote on the review; this was an informational presentation and the district will return with findings and recommendations in the spring.","Parkway staff outlined a multi-month evaluation of the gifted program, focusing on mission, program structure, curriculum, social-emotional learning and identification; the process will include surveys, focus groups and school visits with findings due in April.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},5973210,"Board approves 2025–26 partnership agreement with Special School District",864,1145000,2009000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5842468-7c45914e8d1ed385a248944f9d53b406&start=1145&end=2009","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5842468-7c45914e8d1ed385a248944f9d53b406/thumbnail_1145000.jpg","/articles/5973210/Missouri/Board-approves-202526-partnership-agreement-with-Special-School-District","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5973210-936d39d3c79dc7c9882670f56794955a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771120178&Signature=Z0fcpPitPMy5Vh9BmbjgRm9tVpkhLUIAyGQ~MP75a2zgeeATToX~E1j1yIBBYvOH85os8PNYxmTYT~2TdLfS~7cmM7ETykCmQnDLj5HLvU55kaZJ0cj~l-SQ72j-a~JUegHaFGr4eAm8CAg6cr31ReHnVC5Ua5Jy~N3GmBkkRe3lK7Yr-~~JtaT3DIx7RmohFYK-L2~oATJMN08wTjx0OzzZ4W1j00ZQAuSs7hZ-5AHc5kvhwCHQPp3PXmKxAh5KBxz1Xib1eLSMYWQ1oPmz12fP958k2MflLsc~gUd~kR0JH5KNHcYbZenVrUZrAqYgbeNkIqZCysjBGm4PLqq1Sw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Greg Matheson, Parkway’s assistant superintendent for student services, presented the district’s educational partnership agreement with the Special School District (SSD) of St. Louis County and outlined the agreement’s purpose, seven categories and planned action steps for the year.
\"The purpose of the partnership agreement is to increase our knowledge and awareness of our expectations, to increase our collaborative approach,\" Greg Matheson said, explaining the agreement covers staffing, teaching and learning, accountability, collaboration of roles and resources, student services, data and technology, transportation and career-and-technical education.
Matheson described an annual assessment process: Parkway liaisons and SSD review a rubric and set mutual action steps, monitor metrics quarterly, and present status updates to their superintendents. He said the board’s approval would allow SSD to complete its approval no later than Oct. 31, 2025.
Dr. Tammy Yates, SSD executive director of partner districts, described the relationship with Parkway as strong and collaborative. \"The collaboration and the partnership that we have with Parkway is absolutely amazing,\" Dr. Yates said, adding that difficult conversations occur but remain student-focused and lead to action steps.
The board then voted to approve the 2025–26 Special School District partnership agreement as presented; the roll call recorded unanimous approval from Missus Hopper, Mister Kilper, Miss Webb Franklin, Mister Schindler, Mister Seltzer, Mister Spector and Mr. Todd and the chair announced \"Motion carries seven-zero.\"
Matheson also listed action steps for the year, including reviewing staffing models, coordinating support for career-technical pathways, and developing a principal collaboration tool with baseline data collected in the fall. The transcript records that the principal-collaboration details are being developed by Dr. Amy Blumenfeld and will be brought back for review by June 30, 2026.
The agreement requires signatures from SSD and partner-district leadership as outlined in the presentation; the board voted to approve Parkway’s endorsement on Sept. 25.","The Parkway School District Board approved a 2025–26 educational partnership agreement with the Special School District of St. Louis County, endorsing collaboration on staffing, services and shared tools; the motion passed unanimously.",{"_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},5973214,"Parkway board adopts 2025–26 blended tax rate; rates lowered but revenue expected to grow",147,984000,1131000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5842468-7c45914e8d1ed385a248944f9d53b406&start=984&end=1131","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5842468-7c45914e8d1ed385a248944f9d53b406/thumbnail_984000.jpg","/articles/5973214/Missouri/Parkway-board-adopts-202526-blended-tax-rate-rates-lowered-but-revenue-expected-to-grow","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5973214-132b0b778a7a4b8c2dc69966e13be7c9/orig.mp4?Expires=1771120178&Signature=LTbGH3FbTHrFcoQxkYl3y9qXCtwVnrNhyiASiBqx0bBCmlHW5enwhHfAkOezNh5-o7DcC9hi7Hp3ocKOOoBm481a1Up5INH6DzHNDQCp-EFjPf0zPZzZi-JSnYtj8pFawLP1lSlLouI5hrJL3x~LpX6x1gDOBzduhWy3mol5-dw~~HRRPEjc~HZxPGuqZ-~PLIlrn8P7U~lSu73Nv2ujeA1~ppSgoYORPNIKnNIKog0l212R5Kvv~19lfTeeiseLOM87t68-5T6OM2CUck9d~7ETQ4lrlyWtWa03QH~zc7NXcRASHMyp8w1UC4bv4XlwB2weYbrlAGx-lwVAeeHnpQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Carrie, a district staff member presenting the finance charts, recommended the board adopt the proposed operating levy rates and presented the district's blended tax rate for 2025–26.
\"This is a decrease in the rate from the prior year, but that does not necessarily equate to a decrease in revenue,\" Carrie said, explaining that rising assessed values allow the district to lower levy rates while capturing growth. She told the board the district expects about $7,000,000 in additional revenue from assessed-value growth.
Carrie presented class-specific rates the board reviewed: residential 3.1636, agricultural 3.5938, commercial 4.9073 and personal property 4.2609, with a blended overall rate of 3.6332. She also said the district's debt service rate has remained unchanged for the past 10 years.
Following the presentation, a motion and second were made to adopt the tax rates as presented. The board voted unanimously: Missus Hopper, Mister Kilper, Miss Webb Franklin, Mister Schindler, Mister Seltzer, Mister Spector and Mr. Todd all voted yes and the motion \"carries 7 0,\" the transcript records.
The motion to adopt the tax rates passed 7–0. The transcript does not record the names of the board members who moved and seconded the motion. The district presented both operating levy and debt-service information; the debt-service rate was identified as unchanged in the presentation.
The board noted the hearing earlier in the evening and thanked staff for answering questions raised during that hearing. Any further questions or appeals would follow the district’s usual post-adoption processes and public records procedures.","The Parkway School District Board of Education on Sept. 25 adopted the 2025–26 property tax rates, lowering the levy rates while projecting roughly $7 million in additional revenue due to assessed-value growth; the motion passed 7–0.",{"_33":113,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":114,"_41":115,"_43":116,"_45":117,"_47":118,"_49":119,"_51":120,"_53":121,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":122,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":123,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},5973219,"Resident urges district to act on school security after recent shootings",136,177000,313000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5842468-7c45914e8d1ed385a248944f9d53b406&start=177&end=313","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5842468-7c45914e8d1ed385a248944f9d53b406/thumbnail_177000.jpg","/articles/5973219/Missouri/Resident-urges-district-to-act-on-school-security-after-recent-shootings","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5973219-2c2d4c80cbd733ce8f95e7c6dae4df80/orig.mp4?Expires=1771120178&Signature=MjdnG5Y7gY5V9TBlddK~5Avj43au93HfSTNroHFRWy-HsCDBh~kniBvPGat~KKdzrTb14VmASLsGi9MYOqFtttYENsDA1EiaiuUaXQoIJU2g6B1T5k0FP779f6xAu2eKX0zkvp0o~SbyPP5qPQrTDE~XHfvwcBvKRKY6t0V9hbZ1cqLm8WoIKI26-t5Dutc~TE2r-3rjmquQ09PVb~JU1bRrShABWlvCfwd9loNR3m7yv23CxbYfXVGELKyRLSb5I0bfS06ujmXN2EK1-V16H-wX~yX6ljRC~CWF7RGc70zI-3q2HoVa4oyA9BNI0BVOMiU3jzmTbhuEOA7Czn0gzg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Wayne Hartman, a resident who signed up for public comment, urged the Parkway School District Board of Education on Sept. 25 to take action on school security in the wake of recent shootings.

There's a lot of ideas out there that can be done to get a security person in every school.\" He added that he needs numbers to move proposals forward and asked Mr. Todd, the board president, to call him with data.
The comment came during the board's public-comment period near the start of the meeting. Hartman named several recent school shootings nationwide and said, \"Every single time that this happens, it says, this should never have happened. Okay. What are you gonna do about it?\" He described himself as \"a voice of one\" and urged the board—\"you all are a voice of more\"—to act.
The board did not make a policy decision during the public-comment period and there was no motion or formal direction recorded on the transcript. Hartman specifically requested data and numbers from district staff; the transcript records him asking Mr. Todd for that follow-up.
Board members did not respond with a formal action on the record in the meeting transcript. The request for data and the resident's ideas were presented to the board for future consideration; any staff follow-up or agenda-driven response would have to be confirmed in subsequent meetings or staff reports.
The speaker: Wayne Hartman, a resident, spoke during the meeting's public-comment agenda item.","Wayne Hartman told the Parkway School District board during public comment that the district should adopt concrete security measures for schools, including on-site security staff or live camera monitoring, and asked district staff for data to inform planning.","actionData","errors"]
