District reports summer-school gains, credits earned and academic-integrity removals
Summary
K–7 and high-school summer programs served hundreds of students, produced measurable reading and math gains, earned 2,140 high-school credits collectively, and removed 15 students for academic dishonesty under the summer handbook policy.
District staff presented separate summer-school reports for K–7 and Mountain House High School, highlighting participation, instructional practices and outcomes.
Principal Corinne Pacheco reported on the K–7 program: staff sent 567 invitations, initially enrolled 241 students (50 in ESY), and finished with 206 (an 86% attendance rate). Pacheco summarized grade-level gains from pre- to post-tests (examples cited: kindergarten 18% growth; first grade 21%) and noted intervention curricula such as Focused Math Intervention, Step Up to Reading and Spire.
High-school administrators corrected an enrollment figure and reported actual participation of 263 students (the slide originally listed 344 due to duplicated entries). Staff said the high-school summer program earned 2,140 credits in total; 179 students completed one course, 81 completed two courses, and 40 peer tutors supported programming. For the summer skipper (math acceleration), 132 incoming freshmen started and 84 completed the program (64% completion). Staff also disclosed that 15 students were removed for academic dishonesty per the summer-school handbook and were not allowed to continue to a second course.
Board members asked clarifying questions about volunteer numbers, grade placement for math-skipper grades and the district’s credit-verification processes. Staff described a check-out verification process involving counselors and administrator review of integrity checks before awarding credits.
Staff noted challenges with mid-session attendance drops in some bridge programs and said they would present more detailed ELAP participation rates at a later presentation.
