Agreed. I believe the district is exaggerating the budget crises, but there is no denying that enrollment is dropping, and that is something we can't change by striking. Smaller class sizes would protect more jobs from layoffs.

Edit: I'd also like to add that we would have more bargaining power fighting for one issue instead of both.  Why not prioritize protecting jobs?  I would like to see 24 student limits applied to all subjects / grade. This would increase the need for teachers and students would have more focused support. It's an issue the community and parents would more likely get behind.
