1 MEMO • TD: Arden Hills Parke and Recreation Committee FROM: John T. Buckley DATE: 1-17-83 Subject : 1983 - School District 621 : Summer School Program The Mounds View Schools Community Education Dept. has for years , sponsored a six weeks summer school program that provided a four hour ( 8 :00 to 12:00 noon) education/enrichment program for its students , free of charge . Free bus transportation was also pro- vided. Nearly half of the eligible students attended past summer schools . School funding restraints groatly char-god the Summer School Program in 1982 . Stage subsidy still provided funding so the school dis- trict could offer free academic summer school clan es and free bus transportation . However all enrichment classes wake offered on a fee support basis . Due to a contractual agreemeat with the teacher's union, the enrichment class fees were very high and most of the classes were cancelled due to a lack of registration. The hounds View School ' s Community Education Dept . has made a • propoosal to the Arden Hills , Mounds View, New Brighton, and Shore- view Parks and Recreatiok Dept . for 1983 . The school district would again offer free academic classes and bus transportation to district students . The sc_ ciol dictri.ct then suggested that the respective recreation dept . apoasor fee supported enrichment classes to increase the learning opgoatuui_ty for district students . The school district is in favor ci this ; oint programming because parks and recreation departments can offer the programs at a lesser fee to, the residleats Mounds View IL.gh School will be the rummer school aite for Jr. High and High School students this summer. Ardn.n Hill ' s Parka and Rec . would have the opportunity to eponeor enrichment cleates at Mounds View High to complement the school 's academic classes .
