VICTORY! This Rally Has Met Its Goal!

Class Size is About More Than Numbers

Class Size is About More Than Numbers
The St. Clair Schools Class of 2032 and their educators are facing some difficult decisions for the upcoming 2023-2024 school year. The St. Clair School Board members have been asked to consider condensing these students from 3 classes of 18-19 students down to 2 classes of 27-30 students per class.

Research shows the positive impacts smaller class sizes have on teachers and students. Smaller class sizes allow the teachers the ability to spend more one-on-one time with the students needing extra support, identify any learning or behavioral issues sooner, and allows them to be able to teach due to less interruptions. Students also benefit from the attention of their teacher, more ability to actively participate, less distraction from other students, and often show higher test scores.  

Let’s express our concerns to the school board and advocate for our students in the Class of 2032! 

Please take a moment to personalize the email by adding your name at the end. Also, feel free to edit or make additions as you would like before sending the email so the board members don’t get multiples of the exact same email.

Updates

Great News!5/2/2023
At tonight’s school board work meeting, all 6 school board members said they are in favor of hiring another full-time teacher to support our kids having 3 class sections instead of 2 for the upcoming school year. There will be a final vote at the May school board meeting, but all things are pointing to 3 sections! 
Your voices and presence truly helped make a difference. 
Another new email update4/28/2023
Hi everyone,

We have created a new email thanking the school board for hearing our concerns. It also gives another push before the working meeting on Monday 5/1 to support reasonable class sizes. Please feel free to edit the email to your liking and send it before the meeting. 

Thank you!

New Email4/20/2023
Hi everyone!

We have received some positive feedback regarding the emails that have been sent. One thing that the email was lacking was funding information.
