"We do have classroom asssistants to help teachers," he stated. He said that the district would prefer to have small classes for every class, but right now because of finances that is impossible. He also spoke to the safety issue. "No administrator wants to endanger students. We can manage large PE classes safely," he stressed.

He said the there are advantages to having large PE classes because it is easier to create teams for several sports. "The size of the economic pie won't change," he said. "It's how you cut it, and something has to give." Dr. Sato pointed out that the district presently offers more PE opportunities than is required by the State Education code.

Otherwise, the school can cram as many students as they want into a classroom as long as the district pays overages and there are enough desks. "Low class size means better education," Boone said. "Sure it would cost more to hire someone, but you would have some decent instruction." Boone, who is an English teacher at Cloverdale High School explained how the PE situation at Washington School developed. A few years ago, teachers at the 4th and 5th grades were being given 45 minutes a day prep time for their classes. During the prep time period, two relief teachers had been hired to take over the PE classes usually taught by the teachers taking prep time off.

The district discontinued the prep time period, but was later sued by the teachers and lost. The prep time was re-established, but only one teacher was hired, instead of two, to cover the teachers during their prep period. Dr. Donald Sato, administrator for loverdale Unified School center. Some feel that the City Bus would not be able to get them to the Senior Center on time for lunch, and that the bus shuts down between 12 and 1 p.m.

leaving them stuck there. Senior Center Site Manager Rosemarie Martinique reports that the city bus is reliable. "For lunch it is usually here between 11:30 and a quarter to 12 and we serve at 12. The bus leaves again at about a quarter after 1 p.m." Kings Valley seniors believe the Senior Center is not big enough to accommodate the big holiday lunches for Christmas and Thanksgiving. Martinique said they will probably serve the food in two sittings.

Prior to the dining site change, Kings Valley got their meals first. Now a volunteer will have to pick the meals up from the center and bring them back to Kings Valley. The seniors say that the food will come in tin trays with cardboard lids and complain the food will be soggy.
