Greg Matheson, Parkway’s assistant superintendent for student services, presented the district’s educational partnership agreement with the Special School District (SSD) of St. Louis County and outlined the agreement’s purpose, seven categories and planned action steps for the year.
"The purpose of the partnership agreement is to increase our knowledge and awareness of our expectations, to increase our collaborative approach," Greg Matheson said, explaining the agreement covers staffing, teaching and learning, accountability, collaboration of roles and resources, student services, data and technology, transportation and career-and-technical education.
Matheson described an annual assessment process: Parkway liaisons and SSD review a rubric and set mutual action steps, monitor metrics quarterly, and present status updates to their superintendents. He said the board’s approval would allow SSD to complete its approval no later than Oct. 31, 2025.
Dr. Tammy Yates, SSD executive director of partner districts, described the relationship with Parkway as strong and collaborative. "The collaboration and the partnership that we have with Parkway is absolutely amazing," Dr. Yates said, adding that difficult conversations occur but remain student-focused and lead to action steps.
The board then voted to approve the 2025–26 Special School District partnership agreement as presented; the roll call recorded unanimous approval from Missus Hopper, Mister Kilper, Miss Webb Franklin, Mister Schindler, Mister Seltzer, Mister Spector and Mr. Todd and the chair announced "Motion carries seven-zero."
Matheson also listed action steps for the year, including reviewing staffing models, coordinating support for career-technical pathways, and developing a principal collaboration tool with baseline data collected in the fall. The transcript records that the principal-collaboration details are being developed by Dr. Amy Blumenfeld and will be brought back for review by June 30, 2026.
The agreement requires signatures from SSD and partner-district leadership as outlined in the presentation; the board voted to approve Parkway’s endorsement on Sept. 25.
