I feel that smaller classes is better for the kids who need more one on one time or individually time. Rather than 20 in a class where the kids won’t get the proper time
They might need.

Please reevaluate this decision. Our schools have built a reputation of excellence over the years based on careful consideration of what works and what is needed at this grade level. Studies point to the detrimental impact of larger class sizes. I am assuming the class arrangement of this cohort is an oversight and the board will continue to put children and academic excellence first. At the elementary level, we are setting the foundation for math and reading skills that are pivotal to a student’s ability to work with more advanced concepts. We must do everything in our power to safeguard our youngest student’s academic progress so we do not set them up to struggle academically and emotionally in their later years.

Smaller class sizes are proven to be beneficial to the students. Going to larger class sizes will take away from the quality of education these kids are receiving. I did not think that was the intent of this merger.

Our students deserve smaller class sizes.
Losing a teacher will not benefit them in the long run, especially at this age.
