Students in kindergarten through eighth grade won’t have access to a summer school program at Warren County Schools this year. The Board of Education voted 6-1 to cut the elementary and middle summer school program and several high school summer courses, saving the district $240,500.
The summer school program will be limited to classes for special education students, make up classes for high school students who failed, and physical education and world history courses for high school students who want to finish those requirements early.
Superintendent John Long said he expects the state legislature to cut funding for summer school. He said by cutting back on summer school the board can save some funding to use for the 2010-11 school year.
Board member David Housewright voted against the proposal.
