      Council Member Althea V. Stevens expresses concerns about the Summer Rising program structure, particularly regarding teacher workload and the effectiveness of the current model for students who need additional support.

      • Questions the feasibility of teachers managing diverse student needs with only two days of preparation
      • Highlights the challenge of balancing mandated and non-mandated students in the same classroom
      • Suggests that the current model may not provide enough individualized attention for struggling students
      • Calls for a reevaluation of the program's goals and structure, especially given the change in available resources since its inception during COVID-19
