Summary

The board unanimously approved the district’s Take 2 summer learning camps and credit recovery program, which will offer free meals, bus transportation and retest opportunities for eligible students.

The McDowell County Schools board voted Monday to approve the district’s summer 'Take 2' learning camps and credit‑recovery offerings for 2025.

Program staff said Take 2 provides targeted remediation in reading and math for students who scored a level 2 within five points of proficiency on end‑of‑grade assessments and gives students a retest opportunity. The program will be held at students’ home schools, include free breakfast and lunch, and provide bus transportation where needed. High‑school credit recovery and retest schedules for McDowell High were presented; Eastville Global Magnet School and early college schedules were also shown with adjusted timelines to fit their calendars.

Mister Barksdale moved to approve the Take 2 camp and credit recovery program; Mister Allison seconded. The motion carried by voice vote; the transcript records the approval as unanimous. Program staff will implement the camps in June (dates presented) and return any final operational details to the board as needed.
