District outlines June summer-school plan as trustees press for senior credit counts

District staff presented a summer-school update outlining June programming, site consolidation and enrollment priorities and told the board how families can access at-home resources.

Deputy Cesario and Mr. White said summer sessions will run June 2–30 (Monday–Thursday), with preschool at Lightfoot, elementary at Clear View/Glen Flora/Washington, middle school at Smith and Lewis, and all high-school programming (including AOEC students) at Brookside campus. Free breakfast and lunch will be offered at the seven summer sites and transportation will be provided for qualifying students.

Administrators said enrollment was being prioritized for students who qualify for extended-school-year IEP services and newcomer programming; as of April 23 registration was open and administrators expected enrollments to grow as principals reached out to families.

Board member Miss Hannah pressed administrators about credit recovery, asking how many of the roughly 450 listed ninth- through 12th-grade summer enrollees are 12th graders trying to recover credits ahead of graduation under the district’s 17-credit requirement. Mr. White said he did not have that breakdown at the meeting and that Assistant Principal Shanta Myers would provide the specifics later.

Board members also asked about access to Clever resources after June 30; administrators explained Infinite Campus rollover procedures require a pause in access while systems are reset, but agreed to investigate possible workarounds to extend summer access for families.

Next steps: Administration will follow up with a count of seniors in summer credit-recovery programs, confirm transportation and meal logistics for qualifying students, and provide guidance to families on Clever access and at-home resources.
