North Monterey County Parents want smaller class sizes

It's been a few months since Prunedale mom Monica Williams began her quest for smaller class sizes at her child's school in the North Monterey County Unified School district. So far, kindergarten classes still have about 32 children, a situation Williams knows is not good for children's education.

So last week, dozens of families packed the board room before the trustees regular board meeting, their children sitting on the front. When the trustees came out, Williams reports, they went back out again. With so many children, how can somebody conduct a meeting?

Now imagine making sure they all learn. All packed into one classroom at once...

And to think we may be looking at more budget cuts down the road...
