Dear Region 20 Board of Education and School Superintendent,

We are writing to express our strong opposition to the reduction of teachers and consequent increase in class size for second grade at Litchfield Center School. As concerned parents and community members, we believe that this decision would have a detrimental impact on the quality of education our children receive.

First and foremost, we believe that the elimination of a second-grade class would hinder the development of our children, as this is a pivotal time where their academic, social, and emotional growth is particularly crucial. Larger class sizes would inevitably lead to less personalized instruction and support, making it more challenging for teachers to address the unique and diverse learning needs of each student.

Furthermore, increasing class sizes can also lead to higher levels of stress and burnout among teachers, which can negatively impact their ability to teach effectively. A supportive and manageable classroom environment is important for maintaining high teaching standards and ensuring that teachers can provide the best possible education for our children.

While we recognize that this consolidation is based solely on student headcount, meeting the needs of all students will become more challenging with larger class sizes. Our community values education and understands that investing in our children’s early years is fundamental to their long-term success. We urge the board to take our concerns into consideration and explore feasible solutions to prioritize the well-being and academic success of our students.

We appreciate the opportunity to discuss this further with the Board of Education and the Superintendent.

Sincerely,

Parents/Guardians of the Class of 2035, Litchfield
