School's in for summer
Summer educational programs aren’t new, but some school districts are seeing record attendance this year. Many kids who missed out on the experiences of in-person school due to COVID-19 are excited to be back in the classroom – even during the summer.
Programs in Jefferson, Hardin and Shelby County are all offering expanded options this year to accommodate the number of interested students.
“This summer is not only full of learning but it's full of joy. We are seeing a lot of smiles and those are unmasked smiles," said Shelby County Chief Academic Officer Susan Dugle.
