Board hears summer‑school, driver's‑ed schedule and chemistry materials request
Summary
Administrators outlined summer school sessions (May–July), drivers‑education enrollment and a request for new high‑school chemistry materials totaling $56,376.41 for a seven‑year package and lab supplies.
Dr. Holly Putnam Jackson outlined summer offerings and fees: high‑school summer school (May 26–June 25) for credit recovery with a $145 fee; K–8 sessions June 1–25 and July 6–22 with a $40 enrollment fee; STEM camp June 22–25 and AmeriCorps summer tutoring and Kinder Ready options.
Jackson said drivers education will serve 76 high‑school students with a $300 course fee, 20 classroom hours and 5 hours behind the wheel per student. "This session always fills up," she said, and administrators requested enrollment by March 25 for planning.
The board also heard a curriculum materials request for high‑school chemistry. Jackson said teachers preferred National Geographic's 'World of Chemistry' and requested a seven‑year integrated package for $48,649.73 plus $8,626 in lab materials, for a total of $56,376.41. The proposal was presented for discussion and will return as an action item when finalized.
