We, the undersigned, feel strongly about the education of our children. Smaller class sizes are needed for fourth grade and we are urging the School Board and Superintendant to hire another teacher. This is the only solution that is in the best interest of our children. Sending them to another school is not an option. We are opposed to budgetary cut backs that impact academics. We urge the School Board to find the money in the budget for the addition of another teacher. Our children and the future children of our schools are well worth the investment.

I have submitted a formal request for an audit of the current budget allocations specifically regarding classroom staffing ratios. A meeting with the district administration is being finalized for next week to discuss these findings.

30+ kids per class is just impossible for one teacher to manage effectively. fix this now.

My son is in a class of 32 kids and he gets zero individual attention. This is ridiculous.
