Jefferson Elementary needs your help!
The school district has decided to eliminate Jefferson's PE teacher position and have other staff try to cover this full-time role. This change would create widespread negative impacts—affecting clubs, programs, classrooms, teachers, students, and the overall health of our school community.
Enrollment has declined as families in north Richland opt for private schools, ALE programs like Homelink, or homeschooling. At the same time, boundary lines haven’t been adjusted to address this shift, and no new programs have been introduced to help attract and retain students.
If you’re able to sign this petition, it will help our Jefferson Eagles community. We would truly appreciate your support.
Razones.
If RSD continues to respond to decreasing enrollments by only by reducing staff and programs, they risk accelerating the very problem they are trying to manage.
The loss of physical education (& Mr. Briggs) will have ripple effects across the entire school. Classroom teachers & Jefferson staff will be asked to absorb additional responsibilities, reducing their planning time and increasing the likelihood of burnout - which negatively effects students.
