BOE Meeting: October 15, 2026

The Rockwood School District Board of Education meeting on October 15, 2026, included a report on the district’s annual crisis-planning workshop with more than 80 district representatives and community first responders. The board also heard an update on the substance-abuse prevention program, including rising referrals and a shift to a self-paced online nicotine education course in partnership with the American Lung Association. No contract awards, purchasing decisions, or procurement-related spending were identified. The board acknowledged an anonymous $4,500 donation to Lafayette High School and a $14,000 donation from Bonum Lodge No. 45 to Crest View Middle School, both for general school programs.

The board proclaimed October 26–30, 2026, as Red Ribbon Week. It reviewed the proposed 2028–29 school calendar, including stakeholder feedback and required school-year parameters; a motion was made to defer approval to the November 5 meeting. The board also received information about Missouri’s new A–F school grading framework under Executive Order 26-01 and discussed its relationship to existing school-improvement measures. No other procurement or capital-project actions were identified.
