Parent urges board to halt plan to collapse 3rd-grade sections at Sibonoy
Summary
Parent Amy Mason told the board she represents many families and urged trustees to investigate teachers' concerns before collapsing three 3rd-grade classes into two for next year, citing disruptive students and impacts on learning.
During public comment, parent Amy Mason identified herself and asked the board to reconsider a plan to reduce three 3rd-grade sections to two at Sibonoy. She said teachers have raised concerns about the composition of the class and the potential impact of larger class sizes on students who are easily distracted.
"So I'm here tonight to ask you to please look into that, speak to the teachers, really investigate this before you make the decision to collapse to 2 classes," Mason said. She added that she's spoken with other parents and that the group had emailed the superintendent prior to the meeting.
The board thanked her for coming and acknowledged the request; no formal vote or action was taken during the April 8 meeting. The administration will continue to review class assignments as buildings finalize scheduling ahead of next school year.
