It is important to remember that neither social studies nor science are funded for special ed, meaning they never have coteachers. So when looking at class size, there is a huge difference between 32 kids with one teacher and 32 with a second. So we need to make sure to help prioritize class size, especially in science and social studies.

Smaller class sizes would help support students wanting to communicating with teachers more easily as leadership said they hoped for in their survey. Also would help with the behavior and safety issues by making it easier for a teacher to work in class with a student to rebuild after behaviors happen in class.

Prioritize class size. Counselors are nice, but one counselor to 300 students is not as effective as one teacher to 30 students. If students want to feel comfortable to talk to their teachers, teachers having fewer students (even by one or two kids) will do that without needing counselors.

electives that are inclusive for Special Ed and MLL are essential. One data point is "I feel like people at school accept me for who I am as a person." These electives are some of the only times distinct students interact with other students. Also, as these surveys are not accessible to some special education students, their voices are not represented.

Electives give student voice and choice. But also they can attract students to our school. I know that is not always on everyone's mind, but more students means more FTE.

What ever happened to Ballinger's club idea that would allow for more student voice and the opportunity for a wider option of electives so that funding might be focused on retaining teachers and decreasing class sizes?

# data[].attributes.body
Smaller class size will address the sense of safety (which is the lowest score (68%) on the survey so should be a high priority) directly because core teachers will be able to deal with issues right on the spot which will help with keeping all students feeling safe.

Students want to feel safe and have more connections in the classroom to their culture. With smaller class sizes, teachers can get to know students better and facilitate safer and inclusive classroom communities

Maintaining elective choice is a straightforward way for students to feel their voices are heard and they have choice. Electives give students a place to further develop their understanding of who they are in the world (tied to question 1 from Student Voice & Leadership and question 4 of Belonging and Relationships.)

Teachers should not have to be counselors.  Also they cannot stop learning to provide sel to a student experiencing trauma.  Our staff, unfortunately, is not diverse enough for every student that attends to have a staff member that they resonate with enough to confide in them.  The affect of a counselor is totally different from that of a teacher because the jobs are totally different.  One teaches and one guides.  This is in reference to the comment saying that a teacher could meet the sel of students while teaching 30 students.

Heritage Spanish affirms students' identity and creates community (Belonging and Relationship, q. 4).

I may be confused about the elective question, but don't kids need six classes? I mean, if we said, let's save money and cut all electives, what would kids take for the other two classes in the day? Even if all kids took two math classes (I'm not really suggesting that), we would then need more math teachers. I'm not clear how cutting electives actually saves money. Unless we have electives with fewer than 27 kids in them.
