If approved by voters, the district would be able to maintain its class sizes. A scientifically-valid community survey January 2022 revealed that the majority of parents and caregivers would prefer to focus on programming and other individualized learning options when they learned how much a change would cost. To lower class sizes by just one student across all grade levels, approximately $5.2 million a year would be needed.
