Re:
Summer School 2011
(DISCUSSION and ACTION)
Following is the 2011 Summer School Report. The report consists of three sections—Section 1: Summer School Program Report; Section 2: Athletic and Sizzling Summer Camps Report; Section 3: Financial Report. Ed Murphy, Summer School Principal, will be available to answer questions about our Summer School Program. Karl Costello and Dave Rosengard will answer questions regarding Athletic Camp programs. Susan Husselbee, who prepared the business section of this report, will respond to your questions involving finances. This evening, we will be asking the Board to consider three recommendations regarding Summer School 2012: • Calendar (Section 1) • Tuition, fees and bus passes (Section 1) • Extended Summer School Day (Section 1) The purpose of this annual report is to provide information on the following topics as they relate to District 219 Summer School: • Philosophy • General Information • Tuition and Fees • Course Registrations, Offerings and Enrollment • Grade Distribution • Teaching Assignments • Summer Reading Readiness, Algebra Readiness and Algebra Proficiency. • Recommendations for Dates and Tuition & Fees for Summer School 2012 • Finance Report The Board has asked for a more robust summer school program, as well as increased participation in summer school, especially in the area of Board Goal 1, advancing students. As a result, we have experienced large increases in the numbers of students, who through our summer programs are now entering 9th grade meeting high school ready requirements, and advancing through our system on the college readiness track. However, we also understand that there are costs associated with these interventions, and we ask that the Board consider these expenses this evening. Over the past two years, we were able to fund much of the summer school program through federal grants that will no longer be in place. It is important to note that as we continue to fund summer school programs that are mandatory (such as Algebra Readiness), there will be costs for these programs to the district. Finally, we are not recommending an increase in fees, in order to keep costs reasonable for our families.
Section 1 Philosophy of District 219 Summer School Curriculum Standards for School Improvement (CSSI) has adopted the following philosophy for District 219 Summer School: D219 Summer School shall provide opportunities for every student to take courses to meet graduation requirements, as well as for acceleration, remediation, or exploration. Summer School courses will follow the prescribed curriculum for each course, and will be aligned to college readiness standards and learning targets. Summer School will function within the budget and guidelines established by the D219 Board of Education. General Information The 2011 Summer School session was held at Niles North High School and ran for a six-week period beginning Friday, June 17th, and ending Friday, July 29th, 2011. Academic on-line registration began April 4th and ran through June 2nd. In-person registration was held at the District office on April 7th for all students and again on June 13th and 14th for students who needed to repeat a second semester course that they failed. Driver Education registration was also available on-line for students attending Niles North and West. Driver Education ran Monday through Thursday for a five hour time period. In-district private/parochial school students registered for the Driver Education Program at the District Office. Athletic Summer Camps were offered again this year to high school and elementary school students. The following sport camps were offered: baseball, basketball, football, tennis, cheerleading, volleyball, soccer, cross country/track & field, gymnastics, poms, wrestling, water polo and softball. All students attending camp had to register on-line. Athletic Summer Camp on-line registration began on April 4th and ran through August 1st. Participants had the opportunity to either pay on-line or drop off payments at North, West or the District Office.

Tuition and Fees for the Summer School Program (Summer Athletic Camps not included) Student tuition for academic and Driver Education courses remained the same as last year and were as follows: In-district Tuition For each one credit regular course (non lab): For each one credit lab course: For each classroom/behind the wheel combined Driver Education course:
$ 150.00 $ 165.00 $ 350.00
Out-of-district Tuition For each one credit regular course (non lab): For each one credit lab course:
$ 175.00 $ 190.00
Registration Fees for each class: In-district: Out-of-district
$ 50.00 $ 100.00
Bus Passes: 8 Ride 18 Ride 30 Ride: 60 Ride
$ 14.00 $30.00 $ 50.00 $ 100.00
Students who have outstanding fees or fines must pay them or make payment arrangements before registration for Summer School and Athletic Camps can be completed. As a result, this year we collected $20,090 in outstanding obligations. District 219 Summer School had a total of 396 students receive academic waivers (including transportation) totaling $125,144. This was an increase of $50,645 from last year’s Summer School in which $74,490 was the total of academic waivers provided.
Twenty-four (24) courses were taken by students that do not reside in District 219. This was the same number as 2010. Course Registrations Year Total Number of Courses Taken Total Number of Students

Highlights on Course-by-Course Registrations Enrollment in the Reading Readiness Program and the Algebra Readiness Program is designed for students whose EXPLORE scores indicate that they are at-risk for not meeting standards on the Prairie State Achievement Exam and will not be college ready. Students enrolled in Reading Readiness and Algebra Readiness need additional skills in reading and math in order to be high school ready. This year, a new Math course was created, Algebra Proficiency, for students who had taken Algebra in eighth grade and had not yet demonstrated proficiency in Algebra. As a result of this new course, 66 of the students enrolled went on to enroll into Geometry 12-22 during the 2011-2012 school year.

Summer School Calendar for 2012 RECOMMENDED: THAT THE BOARD APPROVE THE FOLLOWING CALENDAR FOR SUMMER SCHOOL 2012: BEGINNING DATE: FRIDAY, JUNE 15, 2012 ENDING DATE: FRIDAY, JULY 27, 2012 NON-ATTENDANCE DAY: WEDNESDAY, JULY 4, 2012 Extended Summer School Day Problem: There are times when students are not able to take Summer School courses because courses are offered only from 8:00 am – 12:15 pm. Recommendation: It is recommended that we offer 6-week Consumer Education and Health from 12:30pm to 2:30pm. Rationale: 1. These are two of the most popular courses that students take during Summer School. 2. Students who take Athletic camps or have other commitments in the morning would be able to take at least one course during Summer School. Financial Implications: 1. If bus service were offered, there would be an additional cost. 2. Clerical and administrative support would be an additional cost. 3rd period summer school:1. Students can take three periods of classes during Summer School. For example: Prd 1 8:00 - 10:00 Health Prd 2 10:15 - 12:15 Psychology Prd 3 12:30 2:30 Consumer Education 2. There may be extended bus service. 3. A teacher would be able to teach 3 periods. 4. Food service will remain open until 12:30.

Summer School Tuition/Fees for 2012 After analyzing the costs of the 2011 Summer School Program and comparing our Summer School tuition and fees with other districts, the Business Office recommends that tuition and registration fees for the 2012 Summer School program remain the same as the fees for the 2011 Summer School program with the exception of Driver’s Education. This fee remains the same as the regular school year. Recommendation on Tuition and Fees for Summer School 2012: FEE

Section 2 Summer Athletic Camps 2011 Summer of 2011 marked the sixth year that District 219 operated athletic summer camps. A variety of athletic camps were available to elementary, junior high and high school students. Niles North and Niles West coaches visited the sender schools in the spring to promote participation in the camps. Athletic camps were included in the Summer School brochure and District 219 families were required to register for the camps on-line along with academic selections. All camp refund requests were subject to a $25 non-refundable processing fee. We are pleased to report a slight increase (5%) in enrollment from 2010. Camps were held in the athletic facilities at both Niles North and Niles West. All coaches were experienced District 219 staff from their respective buildings. Athletic trainers and strength coaches were available during all camp sessions to ensure the safety of our students. Camp schedules were arranged to not be in conflict with Summer School academic classes. Additionally, the Directors organized the camp schedule so two and three sport athletes would have the opportunity to attend more than one camp if they so chose. The Athletic Summer Camps continue to offer high quality instruction to District 219 student athletes and future District 219 student athletes. The following tables represent the Athletic Summer Camp financial report and enrollment data.
