District outlines 2026 summer-school plan and partnerships, including ESY and meal service
Summary
Covina Valley Unified staff presented a campus-by-campus summer program schedule starting June 8, partnerships with Alevo, Mt. SAC and Options for Learning, special education ESY details, childcare services, and meal provision to support students and families.
District staff presented a comprehensive update on 2026 summer programming, describing site-specific plans, partner programs and services for students with differing needs.
The elementary program will operate June 8–July 3 (holidays observed June 19 and July 3) at Ben Lomond, Cypress and Workman and use adopted intervention resources and supplemental materials. Middle-school and specialized programs will run at Las Palmas and other sites; Mt. SAC and Options for Learning will partner with district teachers on high-school credit recovery and specialized sessions. The district described a two‑week CTE middle‑school camp, math acceleration for incoming sixth graders, and specialty sessions for incoming eighth graders through Mt. SAC partnerships.
Special education Extended School Year (ESY) services were described as a 20‑day program providing designated services (speech, occupational therapy, adaptive PE) per each student's IEP, with class sizes following contracted ratios. Preschool programs will run at Covina Valley Children's Center, and adult transition and other programs have specified dates and hours that staff read into the record. Staff also described on-site childcare and wraparound care (hours and site lists were read) and said meals (breakfast and lunch) will be available at summer sites and to the community at certain locations through mid‑August.
Staff presented budget planning language describing efforts to align expenditures to restricted funding sources and to leverage partner revenue; the transcript includes numerical figures that appear inconsistent in formatting (these figures should be verified in the official budget documents). District presenters said materials and program funding were included in this year's budget and that program enrollment projections inform revenue estimates.
Trustees asked clarifying questions about enrichment components and whether field trips or fine-arts activities would be included; staff said enrichment details were still being finalized in partnership with vendors and invited suggestions.
