What board members said

I think for the public, I think I had no concept of this beforehand, but the idea that, you know, why declining enrollment is such a big deal, but then also this cost share with the state doesn't necessarily mean that the local property taxes are driving everything either too.Owen McKennaMember · Jamestown Public School BoardWatch the full meeting from 1:00:21
I do see the value in both block and trimester that it would bring to our district. My concern, I think, mostly comes at the middle school level, just pushing those kids at that age to be engaged for such a long time, especially if it's maybe a class that they struggle in.Jamie BearMember · Jamestown Public School BoardWatch the full meeting from 1:05:42
