Board backs funding to expand proposed summer program to 60 students
Summary
The Cherry Valley‑Springfield board discussed a proposed summer program for at‑risk K–5 students and indicated support for funding a 60‑student cohort after staff presented cost estimates and program details.
Superintendent TheriJo Snyder presented a proposed summer program for 40 K–5 students, describing a 16‑day schedule (Monday through Thursday) with six teachers, a coordinator, a nurse, cafeteria services and transportation. Snyder told the board: "The cost for 40 students is just over 45,000 and for 60 students it would be just over 48, 000." Board members discussed the staffing and budget implications and signaled support for funding the larger, 60‑student model.
Board members emphasized the program’s focus on at‑risk students and the district’s commitment to family participation. Snyder said the program would require full family commitment for the session and that planning will continue with BOCES stakeholders at a Feb. 3 meeting. No formal vote to appropriate funds was recorded at the meeting; the discussion directed staff to incorporate the 60‑student scenario into the upcoming budget work as aid and final figures become available.
