Referendum By The Numbers:

So, do you have questions about the referendum? It can get pretty confusing! So let’s sort it out.

The quality of education depends on high-quality teachers and staff who really get to know students. The more students a teacher is responsible for, the less individual time and attention each student receives. Because of past budget cuts — $8.5 million and 100 jobs cut — our class sizes are too high. We have kindergarten classrooms with 25 kids and middle and high school classes with 38. Without additional funding, those numbers will rise.

We are asking our community to invest locally to lower class sizes, hire more teachers, and expand opportunities for children. It is that simple.

Would you invest $12 a month or 40 cents a day to make our schools better for our students? It’s a local question, for local control. Read more at https://www.c-ischools.org/referendum
