PUBLIC HEARINGTrustees are being asked to approve a request for the State to Waive a $1.1 million dollar penalty for having class sizes above 32 students in grades 1-3. The PUBLIC HEARING is Agenda Item #1- The Vote to Approve the Waiver is Agenda Item #23. The Waiver states that: "School sites are instructed to keep class sizes in grades 1-3 at or below 32.

Agenda Item #2 DONATION OF FUNDS AND EQUIPMENT page 3 Total Donations: $297,345.62 29 schools received donations out of the Districts 60 schools. There are many schools who never see a donation. These schools have no art music or science taught by a properly credentialed teacher, they have no instructional aids, librarians, technology, they don't go on the same field trips or have the same educational opportunities as those schools that can fundraise. Relying on fundraising and donations to pay for Core Educational Programs creates wealth based inequities in the quality of education students receive and is illegal.
