NORWOOD -- The Norwood-Norfolk Board of Education approved summer schools for special education students as well as elementary students for this year.
The approval came at the district’s April 25 meeting.
NNCS has offered a three-week summer school program for elementary students for the last few years and wants to continue the program, NNCS Superintendent Jamie Cruikshank said.
“We want to minimize the loss of academics over summer break,” he said.
The program is not mandatory, although all students are encouraged to attend.
The one classroom summer school for special education provides two benefits.
Cruikshank said it keeps those students in-house, so they are not sent to a BOCES-run program elsewhere in the county.
“We prefer to keep those students in the district,” he said.
Secondly, it saves the school money.
“We would have to pay BOCES anyways -- keeping it at our school saves us a little money,” Cruikshank said.
