Miss Schwarz reports HERO summer program serving roughly 67 students amid reading interventions

The district's HERO summer enrichment program is in its second week and is focusing on STEM and reading interventions, the district reported.

Superintendent (unnamed in the record) introduced Miss Schwarz to report on the program. Miss Schwarz said 91 students in grades K–8 applied to the program and that in week two attendance is averaging about 67 students. The program theme this year is "Launch into Learning," and staff are using a "flying classroom" STEM kit that the district said was successful last year.

Miss Schwarz described targeted reading interventions for students who failed the third-grade assessment in June; the district is assigning a reading interventionist to provide those supports during the program. The transcript notes the MSU extension office is providing additional activities and that program hours are available at the Vote Center Monday through Thursday, roughly 8 a.m. to noon.

The presentation was informational; no formal board action related to program funding or expansion was recorded in the transcript excerpt. The record provides attendance figures and program activities but does not include a detailed budget or staffing plan for the summer program.
