Board approves Elemental Hardware and ArtTrek contracts for expanded‑learning programs

May 20, 2026

Trustees approved contracts to fund Elemental Hardware (hands‑on maker curriculum) and ArtTrek (art instruction and event support) under the ELOP program; trustees asked for impact metrics tied to attendance, student surveys and academic integration.

The full story

The board approved expanded learning program contracts to provide after‑school and summer enrichment across district schools. Elemental Hardware will provide hands‑on maker instruction (one staff member at each site and materials), which administrators said supports math and measurement skills and can be integrated with morning instruction. ArtTrek was approved to continue longstanding art programming across school sites, including professional development for staff and event support for district showcases.
