Board directs superintendent to open a third-grade class to reduce class size
Summary
To reduce class size and protect grade-span adjustment funding, the Chatom board directed the superintendent to open an additional third-grade class. The decision is intended to accommodate added enrollment and preserve funding.
The board gave direction to Superintendent Cherise Olvera to open an additional third-grade class to reduce class size, protect grade-span adjustment funding and allow room for added enrollment. The instruction was given as an item for future consideration and recorded in the minutes on Aug. 12, 2025.
Board members framed the direction as a measure to preserve funding and manage enrollment growth rather than as a finalized hire or budget reallocation at this meeting. Staff will proceed with actions necessary to implement the additional classroom and report back as needed.
