Petition to Keep Grade 7 Class Sizes Small Next Year
A group of parents and residents has started a petition to keep Grade 7 class sizes small for the 2013-14 school year. The preliminary budget presented to the School Committee allows for class sizes of 21 for 6th graders, 26 for 7th graders, and 18 for 8th graders. Grade 7 class sizes are projected to be much larger than grades 6 and 8.
