Class-Size Rally Set for Tonight
We're hearing that some Torrance Unified teachers, fourth- and fifth-grade instructors, to be exact, will be rallying outside tonight's Board of Education meeting, hoping to raise awareness of the potential impact of increasing class-sizes.
Putting more kids in classrooms is among the money-saving measures that the local district -- and undoubtedly many others across the South Bay and California -- are likely to enact due to the proposed state budget that will slash education funding by billions. Torrance alone is projecting a more than $9-million shortfall.
Torrance Unified trustees meet tonight, in the district headquarters located at 2336 Plaza Del Amo. Open session begins at 7:30 p.m.
