Parent and candidate urges board to prioritize Waterloo students and bond promises
Summary
A parent and school board candidate urged the board to consider Waterloo students affected by reassignment, asked for data on classrooms and class sizes, and reminded the board to deliver safety upgrades promised in a $59 million bond.
A parent who identified themselves as a school board candidate urged the board to focus on Waterloo School and the roughly 250 students who were reassigned to other buildings. The commenter said small class sizes and faithful execution of bond projects should be priorities, noting the board had sought $59,000,000 in bond funding to complete safety and facility upgrades.
"Some of that's got backed up…you owe it to the voters to do the right thing," the speaker said, urging the district to complete safety improvements outlined to the state treasurer and to prioritize work voters funded. Board members said they would provide enrollment and classroom‑count data at a future presentation and requested maps to help assess building capacity.
The board heard the comment and staff said they will include the requested data in an upcoming presentation on elementary configurations.
