District plans expanded summer school at multiple sites with 60‑hour reading and math programming, free meals
Summary
Administration proposed running summer school at multiple elementary schools rather than a single central site, delivering 60 hours total (30 math, 30 reading) and free meals through the summer food program; transportation will not be provided.
Assistant administrators told the board that state approval has made it possible to run summer school across multiple school sites instead of using one centralized location.
Ms. Ratzak (presenter) said the district confirmed with the state that summer programming may be offered to all students and that the district can design a 60‑hour program composed of 30 hours of reading and 30 hours of math. Administrators proposed operating roughly 4.5 hours per day, with free breakfast and lunch provided through the summer food service program, and suggested a final day family STEM event.
The district hopes to run programming at as many schools as possible, with a preliminary per‑school target of about 100 students at the lower grades. Ms. Ratzak noted the district would not provide transportation for summer school; she and board members discussed exceptions and the district’s ability to offer targeted outreach to students with attendance concerns.
The board did not take formal action but directed administrators to continue applications and planning, and to report back with finalized site lists and staffing as state approvals and applications are completed.
