Board approves fall 2026 class-size recommendations, members leave room to revisit caps
Summary
The Cascade board voted to approve fall 2026 class-size recommendations, including raising the sixth-grade cap, while several members asked if adjustments could be made later if enrollment requires it.
The board voted to adopt the fall 2026 class-size recommendations after discussion about how to handle large incoming cohorts. An administrator (S4) explained proposed caps and noted some grades, including sixth, could see higher ceilings due to shifting student cohorts.
During discussion Board member S3 asked whether the board could amend caps later if necessary: "I don't want this set in stone, and then we can't even go back to it," S3 said. S4 replied that changes could be brought back but would be difficult to lower once set. The motion passed by voice vote (motion carries).
