The study, commissioned by the school board at a cost of around $43,200 in November, is meant to help guide the development of their early childhood education program.
The Parkway School District is weighing how to move forward with its early childhood education program with the help of a demographic study packed with a “phenomenal amount” of information. The district commissioned the demographic market study November of last year at a cost of $43,200 and with the purpose of using it to guide the long-term development and growth of its early childhood education (ECE) services. On Wednesday, the Parkway School Board saw the results of that study with a presentation from the firm that conducted it, Landes Associates. Les Landes summarized many of the findings from the massive report for the board and then presented them with a tricky question. “What is the District’s main goal for Early Childhood Education…

The Parkway School Board is set to vote on a package of cuts totaling $3.3-4.1 million at a board meeting tonight at 7:30 p.m. at Central Middle School.
As the Parkway School Board prepares to vote on a proposed package of $3.3-4.1 million in budget cuts at a meeting tonight, one of the items that is not on the table is pay freezes for the district’s top-paid employees. Parkway previously faced questions about giving raises to employees, particularly administrators, after making nearly $8 million in cuts last year, but Superintendent Keith Marty defend the district’s position and said there are several problems with such a move. First, he noted that it’s a question of fairness. In Parkway’s case, the district’s unionized employees are under contracts until June 2014 that include pay increases. “Should administrators, for example, be frozen while teachers are going to get a pay increase?” …

The group of 84 will pile into two buses Friday night and have time to explore the capital's landmarks and museums before Monday's swearing-in ceremony.
A group of Parkway high school students will be packing aboard two buses Friday evening to drive to Washington, DC, for President Barack Obama’s inauguration ceremony on Monday. The group is comprised of 84 students from all five high schools and 14 teacher and administrators. Social Studies Coordinator Toby McQuerrey is helping organizing the trip and said it represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. “It's really a capstone experience for our students who have been studying American history and government since first grade,” said McQuerrey. “[The inauguration of a U.S. President] is significant to the whole world.” By driving through the night on Friday, the students and staff will have time to visit some of the landmarks and museums …

Despite concerns expressed among some Parkway parents and teachers, the district says it will cut resources other than personnel.
As the 2010-2011 school year nears its end, some teachers in the Parkway School District have expressed concern over whether their contracts will be renewed, given the current state of the economy. But a spokeswoman for the Parkway district said these teachers need not worry. “We’ve strived to retain our current teaching staff. Where we have made budget cuts, we’ve done so in areas other than personnel,” Cathy Kelly, district spokeswoman, said. “We have made no layoffs of teachers anywhere in the district this year, and right now, we have no plans for personnel cuts in the future.” Pierremont Elementary School Principal Kathy Cain tells Patch the district is actually hiring teachers. Cain said 13 elementary positions were just posted. "If …
