Problems
  • DoE's Capital Plan is woefully inadequate in relieving overcrowding
  • Overcrowding leads to large class sizes
  • Schools sharing the building with another school have added challenges of scheduling space
  • In some schools overcrowding has resulted in students eating lunch at 10:40AM and intervention work conducted in a broom closet
Actions
