Summary
A Port Washington parent commended the district and board for implementing an elementary class‑size framework that, she said, will improve learning environments and reflects broad community collaboration.
At the Sept. 16 Port Washington Board of Education meeting, a parent offered public comment praising the district’s recently implemented elementary class‑size framework.
Lauren Tolls, a parent at Sousa, told the board she appreciated the district’s work to deliver “a reasonable, consistent and thoughtful elementary class size framework” for 2025–26 and said the change will “have a tremendous impact on the learning environments for elementary students across the district.” Tolls singled out administrators, principals, teachers, the Fort Washington Teachers Association, HSA presidents and committee members for their roles in developing the approach.
The comment was offered during the meeting’s public‑comment period and did not trigger any formal action; trustees thanked the speaker and closed public comments for the evening.
