 Teacher Perspective

n March 2021 all elementary teachers were invited to share their thoughts on future grade groupings at C-A. This was before any specific scenarios were provided.

Eight teachers shared their thoughts. Five agreed to record their thoughts and three shared their written thoughts.

Our teachers have been considering scenarios for our future grade groupings. They have provided input on the benefits they see in the scenarios as well as suggestions, questions and concerns.

 Our district LINKS team, made up of over 30 teachers met May 20th. The consensus of this team was to move the conversation of future grade groupings to parents and community members. I provided this update to the BOE at it's May meeting that included the LINKS team recommendation to focus on one scenario at this time.

  •  Athens campus hosting grades PK-2 and Coxsackie hosting grades 3-5, 6-8 and 9-12.

 We will be hosting public forums. These will be in person, following our COVID protocols, in the HS auditorium. We plan to stream the sessions on THE ZOOM platform as well.

 The forums will be:
