Cannon Beach Academy proposes adding 6th grade; district asks for cost details

Cannon Beach Academy representatives told Seaside School District members they seek to add a 6th-grade cohort next academic year, describing an internal reconfiguration rather than new construction. The academy’s director (Mary Ellen) said the school can create separate classrooms by enclosing an existing partition and manage the class with a part-time intervention teacher: "With the adding of 0.167 grade, I would...like to do a k1, a 2, 3, 4 blend, and then a 5, 6," she said.
