Superintendent seeks approval for kindergarten kick‑start, SAT prep, and updated bus driver bonuses
Summary
The superintendent presented a kindergarten 'kick-start' program with a $200 tuition, SAT prep offerings ($225–$425), and an updated recruitment and retention bonus for bus drivers; these items were scheduled for board approval.
During the superintendent's report, the board was presented with multiple program items for approval: a kindergarten 'kick-start' program with a $200 tuition for registered kindergarten students; SAT preparatory courses (reading & writing or math at $225 each, and a full SAT prep at $425); and an updated recruitment and retention bonus for bus drivers intended to address hiring challenges.
The superintendent framed these items as responses to parent requests and district needs. On the kindergarten offering the superintendent said it will give new students a chance to try a mini-kindergarten experience and reduce first-day anxiety. Board members indicated they would vote on these items later in the agenda.
