"After the Bell" the official podcast of Savannah - Chatham County Public School System - this episode ... producer Dee Daniels interviews Dr. Troy Brown, network superintendent for elementary and K–8 schools, about SCCPSS Summer Level Up opportunities.

Brown outlines four summer learning tracks: initial credit for high school students seeking advanced credits; credit recovery/remediation for grades 3–12 tied to promotion or graduation; blended learning with targeted platform-based support; and literacy enrichment camps for English learners in K–2 and 6–8, plus RISE (adaptive recreational and instructional enrichment) and extended school year for special needs students.

Families will be notified if attendance is required, with registration and strict four-week attendance expectations; transportation is provided except for Choice program students. He highlights optional offerings like Oatland Island and Massey camps, scholarships so cost isn’t a barrier, Georgia Tech-linked Seismic STEM camp, and workforce apprenticeships. Brown also shares home learning tips and his path into education inspired by a former math teacher.
