Kirsten Thompson, director of the elementary Summer Learning Academy, told the board the program ran four weeks at Kingsborough Elementary with 14 classrooms and 33 staff and provided breakfast and lunch each day. The program served rising kindergarteners through fifth grade and included reading, writing, math, science, social skills and STEM and creative arts rotations.

Thompson said the academy served 114 scholars entering kindergarten and provided services to 24 students with disabilities across the continuum of services. She described strong engagement, classroom fluency practice, phonics work and social‑skills lessons delivered twice weekly by a contracted or visiting provider.

Thompson thanked teachers who return year after year to run the program and asked for continued board support to improve and possibly expand the program. The transcript records no budget vote attached to the presentation.
