Deland-Weldon Schools Exploring Summer School

A DeWitt County School district says they are exploring options for summer school but plans are not yet ironed out.

 

Amanda Geary is the Superintendent of Deland-Weldon Schools and has had only preliminary discussions with her principals about potential summer school options. She has been in touch with area superintendents and find out how those districts are handling summer school as well.

 

 

According to Geary, a focus for summer school in her district would likely emphasize the younger students to make sure they are where they should be to move on to the next level.

 

 

Additionally, Geary may not have the interest or need for an entire program for older kids but would have to look at the couple of individual students that may be struggling and see how they can help them.

 

 

Geary anticipates only needing a couple of teachers to operate a summer school program and anticipates having enough interest to pull off a 3 to 5-week program for just a few hours a day through the week.
