We, the undersigned, propose that the Oshkosh school board decrease the classroom capacities in rooms 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16 at Oaklawn Elementary by 20%. The previously mentioned classrooms are between 726 and 780 square feet. Whereas, the majority of classrooms in the OASD are 900 square feet or larger. Currently both classroom sizes have the same suggested capacity. We propose that the capacity should be changed to 20% less than the capacity of other classrooms in the OASD.
We also propose that the Oshkosh Area School District provide the population of Oaklawn Elementary with a media center that reflects the OASD policy number 363. A media center that includes, but is not limited to, the Wisconsin Department of Instruction suggestions for a proper media center. Incorporating a substantial increase in square footage, a booktalking/storytelling area, a computer/technology area, and a quiet study/recreational reading area.
The Oshkosh school board continues to ignore the fact that our kids are crammed into undersized classrooms while they pretend everything is fine. I am tired of the bureaucratic stonewalling and we are done waiting for them to acknowledge these safety hazards.

The Oshkosh school board keeps ignoring our cramped classrooms while they act like everything is fine. This surge in support proves they cannot hide from the truth any longer.

Those rooms are already packed way to tight. The kids can barely move around their desks without bumping into someone. Its not fair.

The library situation is a joke. Our kids deserve better resources than what youve been giving them. Fix it now.
