Superintendent reports summer-school enrollment, IB authorization at Case High and facility work underway
Summary
Superintendent Brandon Gajewski reported more than 1,000 students enrolled for summer school so far, announced that Case High School received International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme authorization, and noted district facility groundbreakings funded by the recent referendum.
Superintendent Brandon Gajewski updated the board on several district items at the April 28 meeting: summer-school registration, facility projects and a major program authorization.
Gajewski said summer-school enrollment stood at a little over 1,000 students at the time of the meeting and that registration remained open through May 16 for programs running June 24 July 31 at multiple elementary sites and several high-school locations. He thanked the community for referendum support and said the district had begun groundbreakings on additions at Fratt and Gifford.
Gajewski also announced that the International Baccalaureate Organization had authorized Case High School for the Middle Years Programme (MYP), meaning the district will offer an IB continuum from Kâ2. He described this as a multi-year effort that provides an internationally recognized program for students.
Why it matters: Summer-school capacity affects student learning over the summer months; IB authorization is a districtwide program change with curricular implications and potential college-preparation benefits. Referendum-funded construction will affect facilities and scheduling during implementation.
Ending: The superintendent reiterated the need to monitor state-level fiscal challenges and said administration will continue implementation work for summer programs, IB programming and ongoing construction.
