District reports gains and logistics from summer LEAP and ESY programs
Summary
District leaders reported expanded summer LEAP and ESY offerings with 905 registrations (748 attendees), enrichment programming, and ESY outcomes showing 91% of ESY students maintained progress toward at least one IEP goal.
District staff reviewed summer offerings and outcomes. Key points:
- Summer LEAP (four-week model at Devonshire and Salt Creek) and enrichment offerings enrolled about 905 students with a first-day attendance of 748; enrichment courses ranged from 26–82 students per offering and included instrumental music, sports and a double-accelerated math pilot for rising sixth graders.
- ESY (extended school year for students with IEP-determined need) served 116 students; staff reported that 91% maintained progress on at least one IEP goal over the ESY period.
- Teachers used curricular resources (i-Ready, FastBridge, News-2-You and teacher-developed materials tied to IEP objectives) and provided individualized progress reports for families on the program’s final day; administrators acknowledged opportunities to improve daily family communication (for example a one-page daily summary or fridge-ready update) to better convey what students did each day.
- Staffing was primarily district employees (roughly 95% of LEAP and ESY teachers drawn from district staff); a small number of out-of-district substitutes and contracted services (one contracted physical therapist) were used where needed.
Board members praised enrichment showcases and asked for improved parent-teacher communication and clearer daily progress summaries for families. No formal action was taken; staff will refine summer programming communications and continue planning for next year.
