District reports summer-school enrollment, adult-ed pass rates; six students earned diplomas

District staff reviewed the 2025 summer-school programs across Mountain View nd Los Altos sites, reporting enrollment, completion rates and targeted programs for incoming ninth- and tenth-grade academies.

Jennifer Lewis (Alta Vista co-principal), the MBLA adult education director (Ms. Vo) and site principals described two main summer components: in-seat remediation sessions (two sessions that can provide up to 10 credits per session), and an online adult-ed summer program used for required health credits and other coursework approved by counselors.

Key figures presented at the meeting: - Online adult education served 405 students and reported an 86% completion rate over six weeks (reported by Ms. Vo). - Session 1 in-seat summer-school enrollment began with 518 students; 373 completed the session. - The district offered incoming-tenth-grade digital media academies (80 students across two sessions) and an incoming-ninth-grade academy focused on wellness and health (about 30 students, receiving 5 health credits). - Six students graduated during the summer across district sites (Alta Vista: 6, Los Altos: 1, Mountain View: 5 — those site-level counts were described during the update).

Staff emphasized summer school objectives: keep students on track for 220 credits to graduate, ensure CSU/UC a-g eligibility by removing Ds and Fs, and provide extended-year services for students with IEPs. Principals and counselors used data beginning in winter to identify students at risk and to assign counselors and sessions using the district eries scheduling system.

Staffing and program details: roughly 78 staff (instructional aides, nutrition and custodial support plus certificated teachers, 90% of whom were district staff) ran summer programs and offered about 30—ourse sections (33 listed across content areas), with multiple enrichment and remediation course offerings. Site leaders reported coordination with Foothill College for dual-enrollment and a College Now partnership that operates on the Foothill calendar.

Questions from trustees focused on enrollment differences between sites and the robustness of counseling and wait-list management. Julie (adult-ed) explained the online health courses were in high demand and are first-come, first-served; the program accommodated all students who wanted the course this summer. Trustees also asked about criteria for academy placements; staff said some academies required specific teacher credentials (for example a health-credentialed teacher for this year's ninth-grade academy) and staffing constrained capacity.

Why it matters: Summer-school programming affects on-time graduation, a-g eligibility and remediation for students with special needs. The adult-ed online program also provides an avenue for older students and community members to meet credit requirements.

Next steps: Staff said they will continue to refine summer offerings based on enrollment trends and special-education needs and will coordinate with special education director Jennifer Smith to adjust summer instruction for IEP requirements.

Ending note: Trustees thanked staff and principals for summer operations and for celebrating students who completed diplomas during the summer session.
