Port Arthur Independent School District staff reported that summer school concluded successfully and that a district feeding program continues to operate, while daily enrollment was reported at 8,045 with attendance at 89.16%.
Dr. Mark Corey told the board, “We are in the end of the, first month of summer for June. We've had summer school. Summer school ended on yesterday. Everything went well with summer school.” He explained a change for secondary students: “Instead of our secondary receiving 1 credit, they had an opportunity to receive 2 credits in order to help them get into the right grade that they're supposed to be in.”
The district also maintained a summer feeding program. “We still have the feeding program going on, and that is working well also,” Dr. Corey said. No meal participation counts or funding sources for the feeding program were provided in the publicly audible remarks.
Administrative staff presented operational data: daily enrollment was read as 8,045 and attendance as 89.16%. Board members acknowledged the information; no further action or votes were recorded on these informational items in the available transcript segment.
The district did not provide a breakdown of summer school participation by campus, grade-level outcomes from the two-credit option, nor did the public remarks include counts or funding sources for the feeding program. Those operational details were not specified in the recorded portions of the meeting provided.
