Public commenter urges approval of school referendum to expand art, STEM and FACS space
Summary
At a public comment, a speaker urged voters to approve a school referendum, saying it would expand space for art, FACS and STEM rooms, reduce crowding in 36-student classes and allow more hands-on learning opportunities for middle-school students.
A public commenter urged support for an upcoming school referendum, saying it would expand space for specialist classrooms and ease crowded middle-school conditions. "If the referendum is approved, it really does help spaces like the art room," the commenter said, adding that the measure would also support FACS and STEM rooms and "all of our specialist classes."
The speaker said more space would let students collaborate and "be experimenting and fully using their creativity," and described current classrooms as crowded: "With having 36 kids in a classroom, it gets really tight in here. And we need all the space that we can get to be doing clay and other hands on things."
The remarks framed the referendum as a way to give middle-school students a "more full experience" and more opportunities to "explore those options" during a developmental period when they try new subjects. The transcript contains only public comment; no formal vote or decision on the referendum was recorded in the provided material.
