Subject: [fremontcouncilpta] Board of Education Approves Lower Class Sizes,
Counselors and Student Support Se
To: f***************[email protected]
At the March 13, 2013 meeting, the Board of Education took unanimous action
to add staff and provide support for students, staff, and families for next
school year including:
* The addition of 10 Counselor positions.
* The reduction of kindergarten class size from 30:1 to 28:1 with a plan to
further decrease K-3 class sizes down to 24:1 in future years.
* The addition of approximately 10 secondary teaching positions to reduce
class sizes and change current staffing allocations at secondary schools
from the current 28:1 to 27.5:1.
* The addition of 3 Assistant Principal positions at our largest elementary
schools (Forest Park, Warm Springs, and Ardenwood) to better support
students, staff and parents.
Funding for future years remains uncertain because the Governor's budget
proposal, while promising additional funding for education, has not yet been
passed by the legislature. Despite the uncertainty, our Board Members were
unanimous in their commitment to add additional staff now so schools can
plan schedules and provided parents and students greater certainty about
services, schedules and classes for next year. |
