Focus of St. Joseph summer school has shifted

By BRENT MARTINSt. Joseph PostSt. Joseph public school officials have shifted focus on summer school.St. Joseph School Superintendent Gabe Edgar says in the past the St. Joseph School District tended to focus on getting as many students as possible in summer school to draw down as much state money as possible. Edgar says, now, the focus is on the students, getting them caught up academically and prepared for next fall."We feel like we have a pretty good program going and we have a good partnership with Catapult Learning," Edgar tells host Barry Birr on the KFEQ Hotline. "It's not going to be a money-maker for us, but we're not going to lose anything. We're just trying to, like I said, provide those interventions for kids."Edgar says summer school needs to be focused on the needs of the student."It's more of an intervention strategy that it is just a setting where you're going to summer school as a babysitting service or whatever,"
