3 elementary schools to lose 3rd grade classroom
A few days ago I learned through the grapevine that Rattlesnake, Paxson and Lewis and Clark will be losing a 3rd grade teaching position. Making the current second grade class go from three teachers to two.
This puts classroom sizes at 28 kids for Rattlesnake and 30 for Paxson (I think). State law says class rooms cannot be above 28 without a para educator.
I attended the school board meeting on Tuesday and many people commented as well as ten or so elementary school aged kids. But there has been absolutely no update from the school on this change or from the district as far as I can tell.
This is unacceptable, 28+ kids in one classroom does not fly.
