[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's each cluster's job to advocate for their kids at their school.  A couple years back all classrooms were increased by one, and now they will be lowered by one, and they are agreeing with that.  I am not in the Whitman Cluster, but I don't think agreeing with the recommendation that lowers their classrooms size means they are for the part that increases the class size at other schools.

Were you wanting them to say we want you to decrease our class size and decrease other school's class size?  That is not the Cluster Coordinators role [/quote]

Nope, the rich schools will be much better off than they were a couple years ago, and the poorer schools will be much worse off (staffing ratios rising by as much as 5 kids per classroom from 2024 levels.).

It is not that hard to just say "We support decreasing class sizes" or "We support lower class sizes at our cluster's schools" rather than "We support the Superintendent's recommendations on class size." If you really want to be neutral you say one of the first two.  If you want to say you are happy to screw over the poor schools, you say the latter.[/quote]
