#transparency
Parents, administrators, residents deserve to know how large our VA Public MS, HS core academic class sizes really are. Its about transparency. And with the electronic age, this bill requires minimal if any cost.
A win, win.
This bill costs $0 to implement - administrators and principals KNOW how many students are in every middle and high school class. We need to shine a SPOTLIGHT on class numbers for middle and high schools so that this information is made public and school systems and boards are held accountable for monitoring and controlling overcrowded schools.
