Summary
District staff reported steady summer‑school participation in 2025 with in‑person elementary/middle accelerated instruction, online high‑school credit recovery and enrichment camps; ESY served about 30 students and partnerships with NEF supported supplies and logistics.
District staff presented the 2025 Summer School District Effectiveness Report, describing student participation and program offerings.
Melissa Weber (speaker 13) summarized the district’s summer programs: in‑person elementary and middle summer school provided targeted accelerated instruction (about 15 hours of additional instruction for students who had not passed STAAR), while high school students accessed online platforms for credit recovery and original credit. Melissa noted that ESY (special education extended school year) included about 30 students and that language camps for newcomers focused on vocabulary and academic language. Enrichment camps run by technology and GT departments also drew participants, including some from outside the district.
Melissa thanked NEF for providing snacks, supplies and other support. Trustees offered brief thanks and no substantive questions were raised; the board accepted the report.
Staff said the summer programs aim to address learning gaps, provide enrichment and help high‑school students recover or advance credit, and they highlighted partnerships with local organizations that helped provide screenings, immunizations and other family services at the Back to School Fair.
