Summary
At its Dec. 16 meeting the Lindbergh School District board approved the 2026–27 LHS Navigator course offerings, authorized a CMAR guaranteed maximum price with BSI for the Farmers Club construction project (reported ~$1 million under budget), and approved three mileage reimbursements with noted abstentions.
The Lindbergh School District Board of Education voted Dec. 16 to approve the 2026–27 Lindbergh High School (LHS) Navigator program and to authorize a construction management at‑risk guaranteed maximum price (GMP) with BSI for the Farmers Club project, and it approved routine mileage reimbursements for board members attending the MSBA conference.
The 2026–27 LHS Navigator was presented as a program with expanded course diversity and supports to maintain algebra sequencing while providing interventions. Tara Sparks told the board the Navigator includes new geometry and construction options and integrates reading intervention with English courses "so that students can access college and career readiness courses while receiving targeted support," she said. The motion to approve the Navigator passed 7–0.
On construction, the board considered a CMAR GMP with BSI for the Farmers Club. Board discussion emphasized the competitive bid process; one presenter said the bid results came in roughly $1,000,000 under the project budget and noted an anticipated need for permitting. The board approved the GMP motion by voice (transcript: "Motion passes 7 0"). The administration indicated coordination between the Farmers Club project and other paving/site work would affect where certain costs appear in project budgets.
The board also approved three mileage reimbursement requests for professional learning at the Missouri School Boards Association conference for Andy Lawson, Jennifer Miller and Julia Voss. The transcript records abstentions for individual portions where conflicts were declared; the motions for these reimbursements were carried as presented (motions recorded as passing with the stated abstentions during roll calls).
The meeting included an informational District Safety and Security Program Evaluation; no action was taken on that item. The board adjourned at 16:28.
