Addition Of Date Is Only Change To Class Size Policy

The Clarkstown Board of Education held a first reading on a revision to an existing policy on Thursday.  Board trustee and Policy Commitee member Wendy Adolff explained a date needed to be added to the policy on class size. She emphasized there was no other change to the policy.

"We were trying to put a date onto that policy," she said.

Listen to her explanation in the video clip.

Board President Joe Malgieri thought the date should be Oct. 15.

"It's my personal opinion but I think Oct. 1 is too early," he said.

Board members asked Adolff to speak with the teachers' and principals' unions for their opinion about what date should be included in the policy.
