Kelloggsville Public Schools presented its 2025 summer school plan and a staffing overview at the May 5 Board of Education meeting. Assistant Superintendent Jeff Owen said the program will run June 9–June 26, Monday through Thursday, with elementary programming at Central Elementary from 7:45 a.m. to 11:45 a.m., including on‑site breakfast and lunch and transportation for eligible students. Middle‑ and high‑school options will be hosted at the high school and 54th Street sites, offering instruction in core subjects; KHS and the 54th Street program will use the APEX platform. Students may make up up to one credit (two classes) for a $50 tuition fee refundable upon class completion.
Superintendent Jim Alston presented the district's staffing plan for 2025–26, stressing priorities of maintaining student and academic supports, minimizing building reassignments, avoiding layoffs and fiscal responsibility. Alston said counseling services and mental health clinicians will remain fully staffed and that English Learner needs will be reassessed in the fall based on enrollment and budget. He confirmed the district has had zero staff layoffs for the third consecutive year.
The board also received an update from the Board Goals Committee (Section C) on community and instructional engagement goals: increasing family involvement through parent dinners and "Coffee Chats," creating avenues for parent participation in curriculum and instructional committees, developing a timeline for a non‑homestead millage renewal, expanding community partnership documentation (KV Network) and building a back‑to‑school communications plan. Operations Goal #2 includes monitoring Synergy implementations (online registration, Learning Management System including LessonVue, analytics and emergency response); the committee reported over 90% online enrollment completion last year and said new student enrollment opened May 14 with returning students opening May 19.
Board members used the item for brief remarks praising staff and community programs; Mrs. Groters highlighted Rocket Recognition winners, the robotics team victory and the Boys & Girls Club award recipient.
