Milton School District highlights summer school offerings and reports 10,465 meals served
Summary
The district reported 10,465 summer lunches served — 2,300 more than 2024 — and detailed summer-school programming that included 84 classes, partnerships for transportation and aftercare, and targeted jump‑start sessions for transitioning students.
Speaker 7, identified in the meeting as the superintendent, told the board that the district's 2025 summer programs served "10,465 lunches that were served, over the summer, which is amazing," noting that number is about 2,300 more than the prior year. The superintendent also thanked community volunteers and donors who supported the program.
A staff presenter (speaker 8) gave a detailed overview of summer-school operations. The presenter said 86% of teachers and aides supported summer sessions, the district offered 84 classes (up from 77 last year), and that the program mixes enrichment and credit-recovery options. The presenter described specialized offerings including athletics, rocketry and art, and noted a 90‑minute jump‑start class for incoming fourth graders: "You can see 186 out of our 231 current fourth graders participated," the presenter said, citing participation figures.
Program partners were also noted. The district used shuttle services from Go Right Way to move students between sessions, the YMCA provided aftercare at Northside, and the City of Milton supplied crossing guards. The presenter said the program is open to nonresidents for a tuition fee that is adjusted annually; "I think it's like a $175 per session," the presenter said, describing the formula that staff use to prorate nonresident tuition.
Board members asked clarifying questions about who receives communications about program start dates, slide details used in the presentation and participation rates; staff said they use email and Google forms for nominations and enrollment and that district staff helped families with language barriers to expedite enrollment. Superintendent and staff emphasized that the summer program intentionally integrates academics into enrichment courses and that many staff and high‑school volunteers contributed (over 30 high‑school volunteers were cited).
The presentation closed with a request for continued community support: the superintendent asked for nominations for a staff-recognition program and reminded the board where to direct questions about administrative guidelines and upcoming events.
