Summer school expands to all elementary schools; registration opens with early sign‑ups

District staff told the committee the upcoming summer school will expand to every elementary school, with teacher leaders assigned at each site, unique themes per building, and a renewed emphasis on reading and writing. The program aims to increase attendance by allowing students to attend at their home schools rather than travel to central locations.

Staff reported that summer school registration opened the day of the committee meeting and that 31 elementary students had enrolled on day one. Staff said principals and teacher leaders will tailor each building’s theme and that more detailed attendance comparisons to last year will be provided to the board in the next report.

Ending: Staff will include summer‑school comparative numbers in the board report and monitor registration to assess whether the decentralized model improves attendance.
