I spoke with Ms. Murphy, principal at the lower campus, on Monday. She left a message on behalf of the school board. Their solution remains to attempt to even out the kindergarten classes so all sections have 28 kids. I'm so discouraged and saddened by this decision. It reflects on the sad state of Minneapolis schools.
Last year kindergarten classes (five sections) had about 23-24 kids per class. They removed a section for first grade so now there are 28 first graders in a class. I'm really concerned they will do this again next year. That will leave classes for first grade next year at 35?!
I will be working in a public school that has 15-16 kids in kindergarten and first grade classes. I wish I understood what is happening in Minneapolis. I'll be redoubling my efforts to pass the referendum.
