Parents and community members raise concerns about upcoming preschool program changes and SST staffing
Summary
Several public commenters addressed the board April 23 with concerns about increases in preschool class sizes, proposed 2026–27 preschool program changes, student placement by P‑Code, and reductions to SST staff.
During the public comment period at the April 23 meeting, several community members addressed the board about proposed changes affecting preschool and support services.
Guadalupe Aguillon told the board she is concerned about an increase in student size in half‑day preschool classrooms. Carli Benn and Desiree Krist spoke about proposed changes to the preschool program for the 2026–27 school year and questions about student placement by P‑Code. Jasmine Donley expressed concern about a reduction in SST (Student Support Team) staff and the potential impact on remaining SST staff and students. The board recorded the comments; no formal board action was taken during the public‑comment segment.
Why it matters: Public comment flagged potential capacity, staffing and placement issues at the preschool level and raised questions about special‑education support that district leaders may need to address before placements and schedules are finalized for 2026–27.
The board did not announce specific follow‑up steps publicly during the meeting; the items may be considered as the district refines program placements and staffing for the coming school year.
