Summer school enrollment surges to highest levels in years
During a recent government meeting, officials reported a notable increase in summer school enrollment, marking the highest participation in a decade, excluding the COVID-19 summer spike. This year, 329 students attended in-person classes, alongside 55 engaged in online credit recovery programs. The surge in enrollment was primarily attributed to enrichment courses, including a 21-student increase in driver's education and a doubling of participants in the AP Chemistry preparatory class.

The meeting highlighted the success of the AI Inspire program, which attracted 28 students, and emphasized efforts to encourage students to enroll in advanced courses. Additionally, the summer program saw increased participation from English Learner (EL) students and those in the bridal program. Notably, eight students successfully graduated after completing their summer credit recovery.

The discussion also touched on the Extended School Year (ESY) program for special education students, which achieved its highest attendance to date, with 93 students enrolled. This year marked a significant shift as the program was housed at the transition center, allowing for better resource utilization and community engagement activities. The majority of staff involved in the ESY program were from within the district, a rarity in such programs, which contributed to a smooth operation.

Officials noted improvements in transportation logistics, resulting in fewer students missing buses, and discussed the tuition-based enrollment of two students from neighboring districts seeking specialized support not available in their home schools. The meeting concluded with a commitment to continue monitoring and enhancing summer educational offerings, reflecting a proactive approach to student engagement and academic recovery.
