"We need to start smaller class sizing and continue that at the lower grades, that has to be in particularly those schools who are at risk and we know there is a number of them in the state. So what I see happening is we need to continue with smaller class room sizes, we need to enhance teacher education and they need to be accountable more than any other place at those first three grade levels. "
