Superintendent reports rising pre-K and career-technical enrollment; schools launch MakerSpace and activities
Summary
Superintendent Scott reported growth in early-childhood enrollment, noted a Career Technical Center increase, and described new programs including a MakerSpace activity class and school kickoff celebrations.
Superintendent Scott delivered the superintendent’s report, highlighting enrollment growth, new programs and upcoming events across district campuses.
Scott said the district had 65 students enrolled in new pre-kindergarten classes and about 125 enrolled in kindergarten, numbers he described as larger than recent years. He reported the Career Technical Center had “around 350 students,” up “50 to 60 students from last year.” Scott also summarized upcoming athletic and community events: a high-school meet-the-team event and a two-day jamboree hosted by Louisville High School.
Scott described a new activity class called MakerSpace that provides students a place to create, invent and learn, potentially including music and technology. He also said Willis Elementary had begun the process to be recognized as a Tier 1 model school, and that Fair (likely Fair Elementary) had good attendance and start-of-year numbers. The superintendent noted Allen Middle School is adjusting to new leadership and beginning the year with efforts to “step up and take care of what they need.”
During the report, Scott requested assistance from board member Sheila to provide better reminders and communications about district events so board members can attend; he also suggested more direct notifications by text when appropriate.
The report concluded with no formal action required; the board did not vote on items in the superintendent’s report.
