I support this petition. Class size has been one of the top concerns of parents in this district. This was evident on the survey the district did last year. Listen to the parents of the community and address this concern.

I will gladly sign your petition in supporting the children & teachers at Meadow Brook Elementary. As a Mother of three former students that have attended Rochester Community Schools back in the 80's...Graduated in 93, 95 & 96....We also had growing pains with large classroom sizes...That is when Brewster Elementary, Musson Elementary, Hart Middle School & Stoney Creek High came to be.... because of the over crowding....Now with Grandchildren in the School system, and I have volunteered since they were in Kindergarten .....I see the stress of being overwhelmed with the increase in classroom sizes....it isn't fair to the children, or the teachers, especially with no help....it's frustrating for all concerned. Back in the day, it took several trips to the Board of Ed, and the Superintendents Office, and petition drives, we filled a School Auditorium with our concerns. We are a City that has grown to its capacity in population, we need to provide the much needed space for our children & teachers to thrive....Adding an entire wing onto Meadow Brook Elementary, like Musson Elementary did, might be the answer.....with additional teachers...?? I don't know what the classroom sizes are in our Community with the other 12 Elementary Schools, but I'm sure they are feeling it too.....

I support this petition. This is not fair to the kids. RH teachers are exceptional but pushing them past their limit should not be the norm.

I would like to see more help for the remainder of the year and move forward with smaller class size next year.Splitting classes now might do more harm than good in the middle of the year.However, I do support this petition.

My daughter deserves a smaller classroom so she can learn in an environment that is more conducive to learning.

I vote for more helpers this year as requested by the teachers - I think it would be more of a disruption to separate current classes and learn a new teacher. But smaller classes would obviously be best for everyone. Great new teachers have to be found and decent classroom space to locate everyone has to be worked out which is definitely on everyone's mind.

What's wrong with the district right now? Is the Superintendent paying any attention? There is absolutely no call for these class sizes in RH.

My child would never be a candidate for a split class, and I see this continuing year after year. It's not fair to the children, or the teachers. I support this petition.

At 30+ kids in a classroom, nobody wins! Teachers are exhausted, kids are frustrated and learning experiences are negative. I'm sure we can all agree that this is not what we want for our top notch schools here in Rochester.

More than 25 children in a classroom, with 1 teacher, is not acceptable ! I expect Rochester School Disctrict to put additional resources.

There are no excuses to have a classroom with greater than 25:1 . At over 30 it’s just rediculous and needs attention now.
