Summary
Superintendent reported enrollment counts across UPK sites (Tecumseh 35 with one opening; Moses DeWitt 18; Jamesville 18; Little Luke's 10 with 8 openings; RECC 9 with 5 openings) and described bus pickup, escort and transfer arrangements for four-year-old students.
The superintendent reported Universal Pre-K (UPK) enrollment and openings across district sites and summarized the transportation plan for four-year-olds. "Tecumseh at 35. So Tecumseh can take 1 more student. We have Moses DeWitt at 18 and Jamesville at 18, and then we have Little Luke's has 10 students, so there's 8 openings at Little Luke's. And then RECC has 9 students, so there's 5 openings at RECC," she said.
She explained that UPK students are picked up at the nearest bus stop and escorted to the elementary building; students attending RECC or Little Luke's are escorted by bus attendants to a transfer bus. Board members asked for comparative bus-time data and for confirmation that UPK sites receive meals comparable to other elementary sites; staff agreed to compile the requested comparisons and cost information for a future report.
