Mr. O'Shea is neglecting to mention the fact that EVERY other kindergarten class in the district averages 19 or less students. It is nothing special that Hewitt parents are seeking, rather to be in line with the rest of the district. The offer to allow transfers placed parents in the difficult position of overcrowding vs busing away. For those parents, I do not fault them, but for the district to act as if this were anything less than a desperate move is wrong. The Board describes their policy as their excuse. This policy should be a guideline, and in the case of putting 23-25 kindergarten kids in 1 class- a red flag. The "working session" excuse is another example of the Board avoiding their responsibilities. They knew this was a hot topic and chose to avoid the scrutiny. This is a school district, not a private company.
