The school district's CFO said it will exhaust its current bond funding this summer and will not have any funds available for additional capital projects.
With the last bit of funds from a 2008 bond issue scheduled to be spent this summer, the Parkway School District's chief financial officer is recommending the school board began talking about placing a new bond on the ballot next fall.

Town and Country city employees are being giving the option in 2013 to take one or two percent pay increases.
One percent pay raises for city employees are included in the newly adopted 2013 Town and Country city budget. However, employees will have the option next year to forgo the raise until June and then receive a two percent pay raise instead. (Read Previous Story: Town and Country Approves 2013 Budget) Mayor Jon Dalton said the proposal is to give employees the option of having a higher base salary at the end of 2013, which is what a future raise would be based upon, while still having the city pay out what's budgeted for city employee raises in the 2013 budget. They 2013 end payout by the city for salaries will be the same for either option an employee chooses. Dalton previously stated Town and Country city employees are "second to none" …

I don't know the full details about the elimination of so many positions, how that will effect class size, or how Parkway will be able to maintain it's position as a top notch school district. Wouldn't it be interesting to hear, from the administrators and the school board, an explanation justifying how they can give big raises in lieu of the cuts that were made.
