Class sizes in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade at Meadow Brook Elementary are at or near capacity, making class sizes exceptionally high. The concerns are that the children are not being challenged or learning needs are not being met. This petition is requesting two additional sections (classes) be added to reduce the overall class sizes and eliminate split classes between grades by the 2019-2020 school year. For the remaining of the 2018-2019 school year, we are petitioning to have either 2 new sections added or 2 hours of paras in each 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade classes every day.
