Attendance Areas to Change in Parkway

Elementary schools in the north are too crowded, district officials say.

It’s not going to be easy, but the process of changing attendance areas in the north and central parts of the Parkway School District is under way. The Parkway Board of Education heard an update, which included a proposed timeline for changes, at its Wednesday board meeting. Changes could be voted on in the fall and would take effect in the 2012-2013 school year. Overcrowding at several elementary schools in the north part of the district has prompted the potential changes. McKelvey and Craig elementary schools are of particular concern; those schools have about 550 and 440 students, respectively. Most district elementary schools have closer to 400 students or less, data from the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education …

Many Construction Projects Slated for Parkway This Summer

All of the projects are bond issue funded.

Right now, the hallways of Parkway schools are filled with student chatter.

In March and April meetings, the Parkway Board of Education approved several bond issue-funded construction projects. There are two main focuses for bond projects, Mike Mertens, director of facilities, said. The first is to improve the schools' science labs. Renovations and a new science wing were completed earlier this school year at Parkway Central High. Mertens said Parkway South High is next for those improvements; the addition being built at that school should be completed in May or June. Renovations to current science …

If Ms. Adair is so interested in learning about Parkway, perhaps she could have taken the time to attend a board meeting or a Project Parkway meeting. Apparently, she doesn't volunteer in either of her children's schools as no one at either North or Northeast seems to know who she is. This is not the kind of person who should be on the board. Parkway needs someone who will commit time and effort…   more ›
