APS cancels Summer school for many previously qualified students due to lack of staffing

Anonymous
Just saw message from Superintendent thar Summer school enrollment is drastically reduced due to not enough teachers at elementary school level signed up to teach. There will be only Lexia and dreambox offered to kids including those with IEP that do not have ESY. This may be the only option APS can offer,but the kids will be further behind than now....Pre-K that got a letter can go to Summer school and they got extra days of school this year. Great for them ,sucks for K through 5th that need support too.

I’m getting dizzy with all the circling of the drain.

What did you all expect to happen? Harangue and harass teachers all year and this is what you get.

Our family was selected for summer school previously. I'm still unclear after reading it who is still qualified for it.

What a mess. APS couldn't do right for our children this year. Makes me wonder about next, and if I should take door #2: private school

According to Duran's email, he's blaming the teachers too. They got it from both sides.

Well, good! I'm not sure who you think will replace them all, seeing that there's a teacher shortage. Glad to know that you're a fan of larger class sizes.

It's more than just teacher hate from parents though. APS didn't do right by them either at any turn.

Enrollment declines should make some experienced teachers available

I heard just as much if not more teacher angst from the constantly changing and unclear information from APS. The central office was awful at rolling out communications this year.

Even with the most supportive parents and admin I would want the summer off if I were a teacher this year. Wouldn’t you?
