Board hears Kinderbourn outreach success; pre‑K and kindergarten numbers discussed

Board members reviewed the district’s Kinderbourn summer outreach program and early‑education enrollment figures at the April 13 meeting.

Staff described Kinderbourn as a summer introduction for the district’s youngest students designed to familiarize families with school routines and expectations. At a recent outreach event the district said about 47 parents signed up, the largest turnout it has seen for the program.

Board members clarified enrollment counts: staff said the district’s pre‑K population is about 40 and the kindergarten enrollment is roughly 152. Staff told the board they are actively recruiting and expect additional registrations in the weeks ahead.

Board members asked staff to provide continued updates on attendance and the effectiveness of after‑school and enrichment contracts at a future meeting; staff said they will deliver data on program participation and contractor performance at the next regular meeting.
