Description
Parents of Seattle Public Schools students packed a Wednesday school board meeting to voice concerns over split classrooms.
The split mixes students from different grades to keep up with the required student-to-teacher ratio and started over a month into the school year. The split primarily impacted kindergarten to third grade classrooms.
The district misjudged enrollment projections at more than 40 schools and now students are being placed in different classrooms and many have been assigned to different teachers.
Parents expressed concerns saying their children cried when they found out they were moving classrooms and the timing of the transition was disruptive.
