Education research has confirmed that small classes yield many benefits. The PTA understands that we must strike a practical balance between making classes smaller and breaking the bank in these budget-conscious times. But we realize that if we have to wait for a time of greater prosperity to begin in earnest the process of reducing the number of students in our classrooms, our students will always attend the largest classrooms in the nation.
Class size continues to be at the forefront of the educational and political agenda for Utah parents. Now it\'s time for schools, school districts, school boards, superintendents, legislators and other elected officials to take the action parents are asking for. Please sign this petition and forward it on to friends and family.
Achieving the goal of quality public education for every child in Utah will require every one of us to take action. Take the time to ACT on behalf of quality public education. Together, we can give kids better schools.
We are approaching 500 signatures and need a final push to hit this target before the school board meets. Send the link to three people in your contacts right now. Post this to your social media pages to get us over the finish line.

The feedback from parents across the state confirms that overcrowded classrooms are pushing our teachers to the breaking point. Print this petition and bring it to your next school board meeting. Send an email to your local representative today to let them know that smaller class sizes must be a budget priority.

Stop building more houses if we dont have the room in schools for the kids already here. We are packing them in like sardines.
