Parkway School Board Recognizes Cross-Country Record, Approves Club Swimming

The Parkway Local Schools Board of Education recognized eighth-grader Mia Miller for setting a school cross-country record and approved swimming as a club sport during its Nov. 11 meeting.

Superintendent Laura Young said Miller broke Parkway’s eighth-grade cross-country record Oct. 10 at the Lions Club Invitational. The board also named Matthew May as a volunteer swim coach and approved an overnight trip for the Lady Panthers volleyball team to attend the state tournament.

In personnel action, the board hired Erica George as assistant treasurer and Leah Thompson as a bus driver. Young said George was expected to start this week. The board also addressed supplemental coaching positions for the winter and spring sports seasons.

During the treasurer’s report, the board reviewed the district’s finances and several donations, including $2,328 from The Fremont Company toward student lunches. Other contributions supported the drama club, art club, intervention programs and staff development.
