Cabell County Schools reports summer-program enrollment, credit-recovery numbers
Summary
District staff updated the Cabell County Board of Education on summer offerings including elementary camps, credit-recovery programs, extended school year services and preliminary enrollment counts for several programs.
Cabell County Schools provided the board an update Tuesday on summer programs running across the district, reporting enrollment figures for elementary camps, credit-recovery sessions and extended school-year services.
The district’s instructional staff told the board the elementary camps so far have served 273 students countywide and that the Japanese cultural camp served 120 students across two weeks. “We have 27 students that have attended that so far” at Village of Barbersville Elementary, the staff member said, and “they have serviced 120 of our students so far” at Japanese camp.
The briefing said other elementary programs included Full Stem Ahead at Spring Hill (43 students so far), Project Lead the Way at Altizer (20 students), LEGO robotics at Highlawn (22), summer literacy at Central City (18) and a medieval-quest camp at Cox Landing (23). Extended school-year services for special education were under way at Village of Barbersville with 65 students in attendance; the presenter said that number typically rises after the week of the update.
For secondary students, the district reported credit-recovery activity: senior summer school that began June 5 had helped five students recover enough credit to graduate later in the summer — three at Huntington High School and two at Cabell Midland High School. Secondary summer school runs June 24–July 18; the presenter said 93 middle-school students and 169 high-school students had signed up as of the update.
The district also described two orientation programs called Climb Camp for rising sixth- and ninth-graders; the presenter said typical attendance ranges from about 100–150 middle-school students and roughly 200 per high school, though exact counts for this summer were not yet available. The presenter said senior staff expect numbers to change as registration and program dates proceed.
Board members asked whether some programs accept students from across the county; the staff member confirmed yes and said transportation is provided. The presenter also noted that many elementary camps are funded with Title I money and that individual schools design the camp offerings.
Officials closed the update by reminding the board those programs aim to recover credits and provide enrichment over the summer; they did not propose new policy changes during the briefing.
