Neshaminy School Board Will Not Increase Class Size
Neshaminy School Board President Ritchie Webb reaffirmed that the board has no intentions of increasing elementary or secondary school class sizes as outlined in the last teachers' contract.
In an effort to clarify the Board’s position on the issue of class size, board President Ritchie Webb today reaffirmed that the Neshaminy School Board has no intentions of increasing elementary or secondary school class sizes as outlined in the last teachers' contract.
According to a press release issued by the board Monday, the only change sought by the board concerns adoption of the State Board/Department of Education recommendations as they relate to special education case loads.
“At the very next issuance of a Board contract proposal to the Neshaminy Federation of Teachers, we will include clear language that will put aside any concerns the public may have regarding elementary or secondary school class sizes,” Webb stated in the release.
