In the 2007-08 school year, there were 202 kindergartners in the district. That class is now 217 first graders, which puts four class sections above the district guidelines for classroom size of 18 to 22.

One section at H.C. Burgard Elementary School is at 23 students, while three others are at 22. At Doe Run, two classes are at 23 and one is at 24.

Superintendent Carol Saylor said there was no clear reason why so many new students appeared, but she citing recent housing development as the most likely cause.
It is a good thing that they did not close Stiegel last year. I cannot imagine what kind of an impact that would have had on the current class sizes........

As I recall, the former board was trying to convince everyone at the Stiegel Elementary meetings that the number of students were "decreasing" through their "study". Anyone else recall that ridiculous statement?

You have to wonder how embarrassing it was to even state such a thing as the community continues to expand in front of everyone's eyes.
