LaKyshia’s own child has described how stressed teachers seem in classrooms that are simply too full — and that pressure spreads to every school absorbing the overflow. A board that plans capacity is a board that protects teachers.
Overcrowding is a teacher-retention problem
When classrooms are packed past design, teachers carry the strain: more students, more grading, more behavior management, less time per child. That drives good teachers out — and every family pays for it.
Relief starts with honest capacity planning, and continues with a board that listens to teachers before making decisions that land in their classrooms.
