Bee Camp enrollment down, schedule and age ranges tightened for 2025
Summary
Academy ISD reported lower Bee Camp enrollment this year (79 average versus 124 last year) and reduced absences (from ~20% to ~8%); the program’s age eligibility and daily hours were tightened for improved structure.
District staff reported that Bee Camp operations were adjusted for the current year to increase structure and reduce supervision issues. Average enrollment fell from 124 students in 2023–24 to 79 this year; staff also reported absences decreased from an average of about 20% to roughly 8%.
To address mixing younger and older students, the district limited enrollment this year to ages 5 through 5th grade (previously open through 8th grade) and shortened program hours from 7:00 a.m.–6:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.–4:30 p.m. Staff characterized the adjustments as improving program operations; trustees received the update as an information item with no action required at the meeting.
