The report delivered by Superintendent Karen Shuman at the Culver School Board meeting Monday night contained some proposed programs for both older and younger students in the Culver community.
Shuman told the board about potential teen programs they are looking into with the assistance of a local group of community members. She said that with programs specifically targeted at teenagers, they are hoping to bridge the gap between Culver Community students, surrounding community schools’ students and students from Culver Academy. The potential program has been entitled ‘Teen Canteen’ and would provide certain activities for teen students to do on Friday and Saturday nights.
For younger community members, Shuman said the school corporation is looking into becoming an On-My-Way Pre-K school. Though they currently have some programs in place, they are looking to move those to their school corporation to help service parents more locally.
Shuman stated, “We have two programs that we bus students to Argos for, so we are looking at, not changing, just to be more in-house so that we’re servicing our students that we bus and potentially combining them with other local students and creating a larger pre-k program here.”
Additionally, Superintendent Shuman included in her report that State Superintendent Jennifer McCormick will be visiting Culver Elementary School to speak during literacy night on October 3rd. Shuman invited all school board members to attend to hear McCormick’s address.
