No summer school this year in Claremont district
Author: Wes Woods II, Staff Writer
CLAREMONT - The school district won't offer traditional summer-school classes this year but will offer students an enrichment program.
Claremont Unified's elementary and intermediate intervention programs that have been typically offered during the summer vacation months fell victim to budget cuts, school officials said.
The enrichment program will be offered to K-8 students this summer at Condit Elementary and El Roble Intermediate schools.
The program includes classes in art, computer survey, crafts, drama, instrumental music, sports, study skills, language and science.
The program will run from 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. June 28 to July 23. The Fourth of July will be observed as a nonstudent day on July 5.
Claremont Unified's partnership with the Claremont Educational Foundation - a nonprofit that serves as a funding partner with the school district - led to the enrichment program being available, said Jim Coombs, assistant superintendent of educational services for the school district.
The program, self-funded, will not have an impact on Claremont Unified's general fund, officials said.
For more information on the enrichment programs and its classes, call Claremont Unified's offices at 909-398-0609 or visit www.cusd.claremont.edu.
