Summary
Director Dan outlined Community Education growth: revenue rose to about $3.5M, programming serves 5,000+ youth, partnerships exceed 60 organizations, and the Wildcat Community Center provides age‑segmented daily services; staff expansions credited with enrollment and revenue gains.
Dan, the district’s director of community education, briefed the board on Community Education and the Wildcat Community Center (WCC), describing program growth, staffing and community partnerships.
Dan said community education revenue has increased from roughly $2.2 million in 2022 to about $3.5 million in the most recent year. He reported the program serves more than 5,000 youth and school-age participants and contracts with more than 60 community partners. Dan introduced staff members and their roles, naming Jessica Hansen as the district’s new early childhood coordinator, Stacy Pullman as a member-benefit coordinator working with senior programs (SilverSneakers and Renew Active), and Christine Milstead as youth and adult enrichment coordinator.
Dan provided usage detail for the WCC, saying the facility supports different populations across the day — early-morning fitness users, mid‑morning senior programming, after‑school middle-schoolers and evening family activities — and highlighted specific program metrics: 150–180 swim-lesson participants, 40–50 aqua‑fitness members, pool punch-pass usage at about 358, and a lifeguard team of roughly 40. He credited staff and marketing (including a billboard campaign) for recent gains and said the WCC will collect toiletry items this Christmas for local senior and nursing-home residents.
Board members thanked Dan and recognized community‑education staff for outreach and program growth; no board action was required.
