SPS said some students would be moved to new classrooms or have new teachers by the end of the month. The district also said it’s making these moves to ensure it gets $3.6 million in state funding for having the appropriate staff-to-student ratios. However, many parents said that argument doesn’t make sense.
Students there even started a newspaper and collected signatures to try to save their teachers’ jobs. During the board meeting, the Seattle Education Association president spoke up saying they were absolutely blindsided by this.
