What Robert Trout said on Sep 8, 2026

I know when we had discussed cutting our teachers down by one in each age group, it was so we could have one teacher in reserve to pull kids out, to still leave it at the same number of kids in the class they're teaching. And at least in kindergarten, that does not seem to be the case right now.Robert TroutBoard member · East Allegheny School District Board of Directors · Sep 8, 2026Watch the full meeting from 9:39

September 8, 2026

The board discussed phones in school.

Its first meeting on phones in the year we read. A faint dot on the map: we had read too few of its earlier meetings to call it new.
