PURPOSE:
To appropriate $50,000 from District 2 ARP Tranche II POETA account 106388.63258.521209.01.02.602778
to The GLOBE Academy for Remediation Summer Camp for 2025 and 2026.
NEED/IMPACT:
This remediation program during summer camp offered at The GLOBE Academy will be offered for free to students who qualify for Free and Reduced Lunch. We will offer this to all economically disadvantaged students. If more than the allotted number of students apply, we will run a lottery for the seats each summer. During Summer Camp, students will have the opportunity for remediation in reading, math, and language through our Dual Language Immersion (DLI) program. They will start in the morning with breakfast, then move into targeted instruction, have lunch, then end the day with review and camp activities. At the end of the camp period, students will fill gaps in math, reading, and language knowledge and prevent the summer slide for these students.
