PETITION Community Consolidated School District 15 Classroom Size This year District 15 has a number of overcrowded classrooms in multiple schools. With 30+ children in one classroom it is very difficult for teachers to provide the quality education and individual student attention needed for success. Program Assistants are helpful, but they can not take the place of certified experienced teachers. Residents in District 15 are deeply concerned about the large class sizes, the quality of education and the equitable distribution of teachers across all grade levels. This petition represents the desire for (1) the Board of Education to revise District 15 class size guidelines and (2) in conjunction with the Superintendents and Principals, to provide additional teachers for the classrooms that exceed the target class size by more than 20%, effective immediately.

The momentum behind this petition proves that District 15 parents are finished with the Board of Education ignoring our children in these overcrowded rooms. This level of support shows that we are done waiting for the district to prioritize budgets over our students.

30 kids is way too many for one room. how are they supposed to learn anything with that much chaos going on?

Fix this now. Kids are falling behind because the teachers are spread way too thin. Its not fair to the kids or the teachers.

my son is in a class with 32 kids and he is getting lost in the shuffle. it is impossible for one teacher to keep track of everyone.

My daughter is struggling so much this year. She needs more help than one teacher can give when there are 30 other students in the room.
