Enrollment rebounds; district highlights career-tech programs and no bullying incidents at CVCC
Summary
District staff reported recoveries in enrollment since the COVID dip, highlighted new career and green-career programs for middle graders and a vehicle day at Richfield, and noted three straight semesters with no reported bullying incidents at the CVCC program.
District staff updated the River Board of Education on enrollment and career-technical programs July 15, saying enrollment dipped during the COVID years and has rebounded since, and highlighted several in-district programs that exposed students to careers in arts, green jobs and public services.
A district presenter said Revere’s enrollment for the past school year was 71 students at one reporting point and that the district’s completer count was 407 the previous month. She said enrollment “bottomed out in 21–22, probably the effects of COVID, but since then, it's been rebounding.” The district said it will provide updated fall enrollment numbers at the September meeting and hard-copy reports to board members.
The board also heard brief program reports: in April, sixth graders participated in a “Careers in Arts” program that introduced students to a children’s book author, a dance-studio owner/instructor and a digital design student from CVCC; seventh graders explored green careers through activities at the Botanical Gardens and Pullman Arboretum via a Holden Foundation-sponsored program that included hands-on exercises such as DNA extraction and plant identification; and first graders at Richfield Elementary held a vehicle day that included firefighters, food-truck owners, an arborist and, notably, the Summit County Sheriff’s Bomb Squad vehicle.
Separately, the board received a bullying and harassment report for the CVCC program showing no reported incidents for the third straight semester.
Discussion vs. decision: these items were informational. The board approved a routine overnight trip for the Revere boys cross-country team as part of the consent agenda; program descriptions and enrollment reporting are to be updated at future meetings.
