Board reviews expansion of 21st Century program, approves hiring process for summer staff
Summary
Presenter (S4) described an expanded 21st Century grant that grew enrollment to over 125 (grades 6–12), proposed shifting after‑school hours to better serve working parents while maintaining total monthly hours, and the board moved to hire recommended summer staff.
Presenter (S4) told trustees the district secured a multi‑year grant and expanded 21st Century programming into high school, moving from roughly 54–68 students previously to "over 125" students districtwide in grades 6–12. S4 described curriculum and extra activities added this year — weightlifting, a fencing club, esports and middle school leadership programs — and said sign‑ups will be released in the coming weeks.
To improve accessibility for working families, S4 proposed keeping the same total monthly hours (about 30) while shifting to three weekdays (about 4:00–5:30 p.m.) and one monthly Friday special event. S2 read a list of recommended summer hires for the program; S4 moved to hire the listed 21st Century summer staff and S1 seconded the motion (the motion was placed on the board process in the meeting transcript).
