Overcrowding is causing the change. A handful of schools, primarily north, are impacted.
The Parkway School District will redraw attendance boundaries for a handful of schools on the north side by August, impacting about 475 students. Some 246 elementary age students would change schools. Another 230 middle- and high school students will move from Northeast and North to Central schools, but have the option to continue at northside schools through graduation. These housing areas are impacted by the boundary changes: In a unanimous vote, the Parkway Board of Education agreed to the mandatory reshuffling of primarily elementary school students, and the phase-in transition for middle- and high school students. Officials said changes were necessary to spread around overcrowding in some schools when there was a dearth of students in…

The Parkway Board of Education voted to change the start and end times for all schools effective Oct. 17.
Despite concerns voiced by parents and students Wednesday night, the Parkway Board of Education voted to change the start and end times for all schools midyear. It was a vote that upset parents, with many of them walking out unhappy with the decision. "I'm disappointed with the fact that two of the people who initially voted to table this, just turned around and voted for it," said Parkway parent Chris Carlson. "I understand where they're coming from, but if they had to do something tonight, I would have rather they reverted back to last year's schedule. At least parents and students are familiar with that, now we don't even know what our bus schedule will be." "That is disappointing because it was already decided," said parent Lisa …
