Civil liberties and the regulation of off-campus behavior became the focus of a lengthy discussion Thursday among members of the Maplewood Richmond Heights Board of Education and Superintendent Linda Henke. At issue are proposed changes to a district policy known as JG-R. It governs how administrators discipline students. The Missouri School Boards' Association has recommended numerous policy updates for individual districts. MRH Board Treasurer Nelson Mitten reviewed the proposed changes and on Thursday provided his own analysis of which to adopt or amend. The board ultimately reached an impasse, tabling discussion of that measure and several related items. It approved policy revisions related to teacher salary schedules, the reporting of…

The Maplewood Richmond Heights Board of Education discussed the projects during its meeting on Thursday night.
After months of delays, crews have begun work on two major construction projects for the Maplewood Richmond Heights School District. The $4.1 million effort is funded by Proposition Y, a $9 million bond approved by voters in April 2010 and will continue renovations to the MRH Early Childhood Center and add a courtyard and parking lot for the high school. John Kayser, senior superintendent for construction company SM Wilson, informed the MRH Board of Education about the progress at its regular meeting Thursday night. “We have permits, and we have started in both locations,” Kayser said, explaining that demolition has started at the early childhood center while infrastructure work is underway for the parking lot. The project, originally …

Maria Langston also returned to the Maplewood Richmond Heights Board of Education for a second three-year term.
Two people began three-year terms with the Maplewood Richmond Heights Board of Education on Monday during a brief meeting that included both laughter and a moment of reflection. President Maria Langston swore in new member Julie Pole, and Lamar Agard then swore in Langston.

Standardized test scores are generally above state and national averages, though math scores decline at the middle-school level, a new study states.
On average, Clayton students continue to score above the Missouri and national averages when it comes to standardized tests. But when it comes to math, proficiency among elementary and middle-school students varies. That's according to a study presented to the School District of Clayton's Board of Education on Dec. 1. The findings point to an issue the board already has acknowledged: The district must revise its curriculum so that students are prepared to take higher levels of math sooner. The study yielded largely positive findings, though it revealed a contrast: While it found a sharp increase in math proficiency in the third, fourth and fifth grades, proficiency dropped from the 80th percentile to the 70th percentile among middle-…

The school district is responsible for my child during school hours. If he gets into trouble at McDonalds at 5:30 that is a parents/police problem. Don't try to be Big Brother and work on fixing the problems in the school and leave the parenting to the parents. more ›
