Summary
District staff outlined summer learning programs, specialized camps and supports tied to diagnostics; staff reported 209 multilingual students currently on a watch list for potential third-grade retention and described extended-school-year options for students with IEPs.
District staff presented plans for summer programming designed to support students at risk of retention and to provide extended learning and enrichment. "We're gonna be serving 3rd grade students across the district and all of our schools," a presenter said, describing data-driven, personalized summer options and week-long MedTech and gifted-artistic camps.
Staff also discussed retention protocols tied to state cut scores and diagnostics. The presenter said the district has about 209 multilingual students on a watch list for possible third-grade retention and has run interventions, including a six-week phonics boot camp, to address foundational skill gaps. Regarding students with IEPs, staff clarified that extended school year services are determined by the student's IEP and that qualifying students will receive services tailored to their goals (the transcript references MC Riley as a site).
