We received a submission from a citizen:<\/p>\n
[su_quote]The school board should be required to report on class size and student\/teacher ratios for both dual-language and traditional classes. As it currently stands, class sizes in dual language classrooms are capped at 25 students and therefore traditional classroom sizes can have many more students in the class. There is also inequality between class sizes between the different elementary schools. For example, the currently 4th grade classroom size at PPES [Parkley’s Park]\u00a0is 25 students in each of the two dual language classrooms and 31 students in each of the two traditional classrooms. There needs to be an equitable district-wide policy regarding on class room size.[\/su_quote]<\/p>\n
We agree that having detailed information is important \u00a0in order to make good decisions. \u00a0Therefore we support the effort to obtain class sizes and ratios related to dual immersion. \u00a0We would recommend that this citizen contact the School Superintendent, Ember Conley, at\u00a0econley@pcschools.us<\/a>. If you don’t get the run-around\u00a0she’ll likely forward the info to someone who will get you those numbers. \u00a0If not, you may consider\u00a0issuing a GRAMA request\u00a0using the form below. \u00a0A GRAMA request enables you to obtain information from government bodies.<\/p>\n
