TUSCAN THIRD GRADE PARENTS AGAIN DEMAND ANOTHER CLASS; RAMOS UNDECIDED

The issue of a potential class size problem for Tuscan's incoming third graders was brought up again Monday night as several parents raised their fears about plans to place students who had comprised six classes in last year's second grade into five such classes this coming year for third grade.

The move that would increase class size was first opposed in June at a time when then acting Superintendent James Memoli said no decision had been made.

Newly installed superintendent John Ramos noted the issue during his first address to the board Monday, stating, "We are watching enrollment closely, including third grade at Tuscan." He later said only, "We will determine if additional sections are necessary before school starts."

After his remarks, several parents spoke out.
