Summary
Dean Heidi Haagenson told the board the Wilshire Park Summer Learning Program (June 11–27) served an average of 179 students per day with 29 staff, using project‑based units and field trips; the program’s future was flagged as ESSER funds are no longer available.
Heidi Haagenson, dean of the Wilshire Park Summer Learning Program, reported that the 2024 program operated June 11 (teacher workday) through June 27 (student attendance) and served approximately 179 students per day. The program was staffed by 29 employees including custodial and nutrition services staff, and curriculum centered on two project‑based units — Summer Carnival and Sports and Fitness — each culminating in a field trip or community event.
Haagenson noted the program was funded from ESSER dollars and the board requested a future conversation about the program’s sustainability now that ESSER funds are no longer available. The minutes indicate the board will schedule additional discussion about options for continuation or replacement funding.
