A Just Labor Movement for Workers

Attention Parents: DISTRICT PROPOSES CLASS SIZE INCREASES IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS:
The United Teachers of Richmond (UTR) is negotiating a new contract with WCCUSD.
One of the District’s latest demands to UTR is to eliminate secondary class maximums for secondary schools. The current contract now in effect between the WCCUSD and UTR mandates the following secondary class-size maximums:

English, Reading 32
Other academic areas 35

The District’s demands would remove these maximums from the next contract and affect ALL students. There would be no limit to class size. Classes could swell to 40, 50, students or more. Such large classes would not provide an optimal learning environment for our students.

WE MUST DEMAND QUALITY EDUCATION FOR OUR STUDENTS
Join with teachers to say no to increased class sizes in our middle and high schools.
DEMAND QUALITY EDUCATION FOR ALL.
