What this means for your family
Class sizes will remain relatively stable next year, with elementary classes averaging 19-22 students. Your child will continue to have access to specialist teachers in art, music, PE, library, and support staff including counselors, nurses, reading specialists, and special education teachers. Slight enrollment decreases are projected across all three schools, but current specialist staffing levels are expected to continue.
