Discussion:  Dr. Richard Rosenberger reported on the summer school programs throughout the district. Middle School and Junior High summer school targeted students with failing grades in two or more core subjects. Middle School students were funded through Title I and cost nothing to attend. High School summer school students with exception of Oklahoma History went through APEX to make up classes. Junior and High School students were charged $65.00 to attend. Summer Splash targeted Kdg - 2nd grade students. The focus was on reading and math but the students were only post tested in reading this year. This program was funded through federal stimulus allocations. Third Grade Academy primarily focused on reading curriculum. Students were split into two small teams. This was very successful and beneficial to the students. 4th and 5th Grade Summer Splash focused on both reading and math curriculum. Dr. Rosenberger is looking on ways to fund these programs next summer.
