District news
Summer school stays in the 2026-27 budget after a plan to cut it
What happened
In January the district planned no summer school and an end to the WINGS evening program, to save about $739,000. At the April 22 budget adoption the superintendent said summer school was fully restored. The district lowered its charter school tuition estimate by $100,000 and added $100,000 to summer school.
Why it matters to families
Students who need credits or help can still go to district summer school. The WINGS evening program is not in the plan.
The evidence
