Deadline is tomorrow; please send an email about class size today!
Please send a message to the DOE today; protesting the failure of the DOE to reduce class size and have allowed class sizes to increase to levels that are damaging our children’s education and chance at success. The deadline for comment on the city’s defective Contracts for Excellence plan is tomorrow night, Wednesday, Nov. 23.
Class sizes are now the largest they have been since eleven years in grades K-3, and are larger than they were when the state’s highest court said our children were denied their constitutional right to an adequate education in the Campaign for Fiscal Equity case, as a result of excessive class sizes. In addition, we believe that there is $180 million missing from the city’s CFE plan, compared to the $531 million allocated by the state for this purpose.
We now have powerpoints showing the rise in class size in your district’s schools, as well as other information
