Paul Keizer, Executive Director Community Learning Center (CLC), presented the CLC Programming and Summer Programming Update report as follows (MRF #20048):
The Sioux Falls Community Learning Centers (CLCs), in partnership with more than 70 community organizations, continue to expand opportunities for students through before- and after-school care, summer enrichment, academic support, life skills development, college and career readiness, and family engagement.
After three full years of elementary programming, participation continues to grow, with before-school enrollment increasing from 45 students in 2024-25 to 119 in 2025-26 and summer enrollment increasing from 1,144 to 1,270 students. After-school programming remained strong, serving approximately 1,750 students.
The CLCs also continue to focus on making opportunities accessible to more students and families. The program used its full $1.65 million scholarship budget during the 2025-26 school year, with 47% of participating students receiving financial assistance, up from 41% the previous year. New funding and investments
will expand access in 2026-27, including fully-funded programming for eligible students at Lowell Elementary and transportation home for Cleveland Elementary students when the program closes at 6pm each night.
Student outcomes are an especially encouraging part of the CLCs’ growth. During the 2025-26 school year, 92% of participating students improved their mathematics scores, and 88% improved their reading scores. Students also showed improvements in learning behaviors, punctuality, and school-day attendance. CLC students continued to outperform their peers in math and reading, with the performance gap growing in their favor.
Middle school programming launched at Whittier, Ben Reifel, and George McGovern Middle Schools in 2025-26, enrolling 736 students in its first year. The program will expand to Patrick Henry in 2026-27, with a long-term goal of reaching Edison and Memorial. High school programming will also expand with the addition of Girls Flag Football thanks to a generous partnership with the Minnesota Vikings. Family engagement remains part of the CLC model through school-based events, health and wellness fairs, and districtwide family events.
A motion was made by Marc Murren and seconded by Gail Swenson five (5) votes “yes” on roll call acknowledging the CLC Programming and Summer Programming Update report.

Sara Klaahsen, Language Immersion & Professional Development Coordinator, presented the Professional Development Update report as follows (MRF #20049):
Professional development remains a key part of the Sioux Falls School District’s commitment to Staff Excellence and its goal of providing high-quality instruction and support for every student. Leading into the 2026-27 school year, the District provided job-specific professional learning for all employee groups, including educators, administrators, education support professionals, clerical staff, and specialized service providers. Building leaders also provided school-based training that highlighted safety, emergency preparedness, student data, and school improvement goals.
Instructional professional development focused on literacy, effective teaching practices, and curriculum. After beginning as a pilot program in the 2023-24 school year, the University of Florida Literacy Institute (UFLI) approach will be fully implemented across the District this school year, with all K-2 teachers completing UFLI training. Staff also participated in professional learning focused on literacy, mathematics, social studies, career and technical education, special education, financial literacy, and other specialized areas.
Professional learning also addressed student well-being, behavioral supports, leadership development, and career readiness. Staff across the District completed Safety Care crisis prevention training, while new administrators, interns, and instructional coaches participated in leadership development. A 15-member team of District leaders and instructional coaches also visited the Boise School District to observe instructional practices and learn from their work. Professional development will continue throughout the 2026-27 school year through literacy support, implementation of Clarity for Learning curriculum refinement, and training surrounding digital accessibility
A motion was made by Dawn Marie Johnson and seconded by Gail Swenson five (5) votes “yes” on roll call acknowledging the Professional Development Update report.
