District outlines K–8 summer school, credit recovery and free summer meals
Summary
Community education staff presented a summer program overview including an invitation-only K–8 summer school across two sites, a high school credit recovery program serving over 300 students last year, continuing youth enrichment and free summer meals for children ages 1–18.
Sarah Frans, the district’s youth and family enrichment program coordinator, told the board on April 14 about summer offerings including an invitation-only K–8 summer school at Park Terrace and Westwood, a four‑week July schedule for students who need academic progress recovery, and a high school credit recovery program that served more than 300 students last year and starts June 8 this year.
"My name is Sarah Frans. I am the youth and family enrichment program coordinator for the community education department," she said, and outlined program details: location assignments by school, a four‑day‑per‑week elementary program in July, full‑day child care discovery days and a variety of sports, arts and STEM camps. She also confirmed that free summer meals (breakfast and lunch) will be available at the high school from June through August and at Park Terrace and Westwood during the four weeks of summer learning school programs.
Board members asked about the credit recovery program’s impact on graduation; Frans said it helps many students get back on track but is one of multiple interventions that contribute to higher graduation rates.
