Superintendent outlines enrollment monitoring, calendar feedback and summer‑school schedules
Summary
Superintendent Berry briefed the committee on enrollment monitoring for budget planning, shared calendar survey results favoring an earlier start option, announced summer‑school dates and a June 27 high‑school graduation, and reported attendance and tardy metrics for district planning.
Superintendent Berry presented the committee with enrollment monitoring and planning steps designed to inform the upcoming budget. He said the cabinet and school leaders will meet in a position control review to align staffing requests with enrollment data before new positions are proposed in the budget.
Berry summarized calendar engagement: the district collected 203 responses about two calendar options and staff and many respondents favored "Option 1" with an earlier start and earlier end. On summer programming he gave specific dates: "Students start date for summer school is June 10. End date, July 23," and listed multiple program windows for high school and other grade bands. He also announced high‑school graduation is scheduled for June 27 at 1 p.m.
On attendance, Berry said district average daily attendance has moved toward 90% and highlighted a reduction in tardy minutes after a measurement change; he also reported 6,934 tardies in the period cited. He asked the board to consider a discussion on whether to charge for some summer‑school options and indicated that would come to an April agenda.
What's next: The superintendent will continue position control meetings to align staffing with enrollment projections and will bring any calendar or summer‑school policy proposals back to the board for action.
