CLINTON — The Clinton Unified School District (CUSD 15) board recently heard plans to restructure the use of Douglas and Lincoln elementary schools.
Rather than maintaining the two schools to each house pre-k, kindergarten and 1st grade classes, all pre-k students would be taught at Douglas School, while all kindergarten and 1st grade students would be taught at Lincoln School.
Part of the plan is intended to make communications between teachers of the same grade levels easier and more convenient, particularly when consulting with one another about class teaching plans.
Jessica Patrick, principal of Douglas and Lincoln schools, told the school board one of the problems staff had been trying to work around involved limited flexibility in class sizes.
“If we look at Lincoln and Douglas, our class sizes are not necessarily equal,” Patrick said. “We do have larger class sizes at Lincoln currently than we do at Douglas.”
