[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is BS. The guidelines very clearly indicate K-2 class size increases for high FARMS schools, especially for 2nd grade. Not loving the implied gaslighting from Bethesda Today. The proposed guidelines are public. This isn't just somebody's "concern" - this is what Taylor wrote in his budget.

"The budget also proposes introducing a tiered approach based on poverty data to determine class sizes and school staffing guidelines. Some parents say they are concerned the new approach would increase the class sizes for Title I and higher poverty schools."

"When board members asked about the proposed changes to class sizes, Taylor said the staffing guidelines would be addressed at the board’s Jan. 29 work session with the school board and that the changes would reflect decreases in class sizes."[/quote]

I miss Caitlyn Peetz.  We could really use some actual journalism focused on MCPS.  What they're doing now is just basically reprinting what MCPS (and others) say.  [/quote]
